Eonware releases server based webcasting system Webocaster

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, San Jose, CA, Dec 11, 2002 The Webocaster production system is server based and can be run on any networked Windows machine using IE. The result is a flexible, economical and scalable webcasting solution.

Until recently, to be able to produce rich media webcasting, you had to buy and install webcasting software on a specific computer. Consequently, software licensing cost becomes significant when you have many producers. With the release of Webocaster Enterprise Edition 2.5 from Eonware Software the scenario changes.

The Webocaster application is server based and can be run on any networked Windows machine using IE. Whereas competing software requires you to buy individual licenses for every producers, Webocaster offers unlimited administration access and it also allows for remote access. The result is a better, more economical and scalable webcasting solution.

The ability to run the software with a simple browser, has opened up new and exciting ways for us to sell the Webocaster platform.", says Richard Zembron, System Architect at Eonware Software. Since all functionality is accessible over the web, the system becomes suitable for Application Service Providers, ISPs and CDNs who wishes to offer the software as a service to their customers.

Using Webocaster as a service rather than buying a whole system is often the best solution for companies that use webcasting occasionally and want high quality services when they do."
Equipment requirements are minimal; a notebook with video input and a simple camera is sufficient to broadcast a fully customized webcast with powerpoint and advanced viewer interactivity.

Some of the features of Webocaster include:
> Large library of professionally designed layouts.
> Security features, multiple user names and passwords
> Advanced viewer interaction features (Video/slide control, Voting, polling, chat, email)
> Rich media support (Powerpoint, Excel, Flash, HTML, GIF, JPG, text, database queries)

The system allows you to do live and on demand webcasting in Windows Media, Real Media and Quicktime, and is available for Linux and Windows platforms.
