Rich Media Studio Combines Video and xGA/DVI Capture into One Video Stream to
Deliver Dynamic Presentations to Intranet and Internet Audiences 
WALLINGFORD, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
VBrick Systems, Inc., the world leader in Enterprise IP Video solutions, today
announced the availability of VBrick's Rich Media Studio, a video and data
capture appliance that combines video and xGA/DVI capture into one video stream.
Launched at NAB 2009, the Studio allows organizations to easily deliver live
rich media presentations over IP networks and record content for on-demand
viewing. The integrated stream can be distributed to tens of thousands of
viewers without having an adverse impact on the network. 

"Many VBrick customers require the ability to integrate desktop graphics with
their video. The Rich Media Studio will enable them to easily create
presentations with convenient audio and video mixers, pre-configured templates
and touch screen commands," said John Shaw, VBrick's Executive Vice President.
"The Rich Media Studio combines the video and xGA/DVI output into one stream,
which makes the solution much more scalable and manageable. Customers are freed
from managing tens to hundreds to thousands of .jpg images that are often
created by competing solutions." 

In a typical user environment, video and content are delivered as separate files
and placed into a web application. When multiple viewers attempt to access the
information, it often results in the network becoming bogged down. However, when
information is sent over one video stream, VBrick's Reflector technology allows
it to be distributed in a scalable manner. 

Ideal applications for the Rich Media Studio include executive video broadcasts
and webinars, streaming of university lectures and distance learning, and other
distributed multimedia applications. 

The Rich Media Studio is a simple, plug and play appliance that works seamlessly
with VBrick's EtherneTV ecosystem. Presentations created with the Rich Media
Studio are captured at their native resolution and can be delivered to multiple
endpoints - PCs, Macs, VBrick Set Top Boxes (for display on plasmas and LCDs),
and even to mobile devices via picture-in-picture functionality. 

Users also have the convenience of being able to switch between multiple audio
and video inputs, such as cameras, xGA/DVI from computers, document cameras or
DVDs, to create dynamic presentations. Once the presentations have been created,
they can be easily viewed in the EtherneTV system, or published to the Internet
via VBrick's managed IP Video service. 

The Rich Media Studio will be available for shipping in May. To learn more about
