Telecenter® IP Debuts Digital Streaming Video Server at NECC

Leader in mutlimedia delivery systems for K-12 schools announces streaming video enhancement to its Telecenter IP system.

Skokie, IL (PRWEB) June 23, 2004 -- Rauland-Borg, the leader in communications and media management solutions for K-12 schools, announced today that it will introduce streaming video as a component in its popular Telecenter IP multimedia system at NECC 2004 in New Orleans this month.

Introduced in 1999, Telecenter IP represented a breakthrough in engaged learning by using a school or school districts existing LAN and interconnected TV system to deliver customized classroom-by-classroom video content; its browser interface allows remote access to the system providing both PC and Mac compatibility. Streaming video adds an important element to Telecenter IP by allowing digital videos to be viewed directly on any PC or Mac, turning every computer in the school into a learning opportunity."

According to Myles Cochran, Director of Marketing for the Rauland Telecenter product line, the addition of a streaming video server has important benefits to educators and places Telecenter IP far ahead of other systems. The Telecenter IP system with video streaming lets schools use the newest digital technology while not having to abandon their existing library of video tapes, DVDs, and laser disks. Telecenter IP supports all these video formats allowing the teacher to focus on content and not worry about the format."

The addition of Streaming Video to the product line complements the content alignment between Telecenter IP and content providers SVE& Churchill Media and CLEARVUE/eav in 2003. This partnership allows the Telecenter IP system to access one of the largest selections of digital media for primary and secondary grades.
