Video Publishing
Video Publishing is a new software technology that provides
companies and enterprises a way to rapidly re-purpose, publish and
deploy video content and related information to desktop computer
users. Digital Lava's Video Publishing software, VideoVisor(tm) and
vPrism(tm), provides an open framework in which video, other desktop
applications and data can link, collaborate and seamlessly integrate
on the desktop.
The process begins with vPrism, a fast, powerful and easy-to-use
software suite, that assimilates and manages video and other
information from diverse sources, organizes its content, creates links
to other important data, and then rapidly publishes the information in
an open format called a VideoCapsule(tm) file.
VideoCapsules are "value-added video" files that integrate video
with other information: Web pages, documents, images, transcripts --
any digitally formatted file or program. VideoCapsules may be
distributed on CD-ROMs or DVDs and streamed over LANs, WANs, intranets
and the Internet.
VideoVisor Professional is a powerful desktop video information
application that allows knowledge workers to rapidly navigate and
manipulate the video information contained in a VideoCapsule. Users
may search and annotate video, re-arrange and organize its content,
subtitle text and transcripts, access notes, and link to other files,
Web sites and applications.
VideoVisor Web is a turnkey Internet video service, incorporating
the powerful RealNetworks G2 and Microsoft Windows Media Technologies
architectures, that allows users to distribute on-demand audio and
video presentations, along with synchronized text, slides, Web pages,
and other Web-based information to anyone on the Internet.
VideoVisor Web offers a highly cost-effective solution for
business meetings, training sessions, corporate communications,
tradeshows, press conferences, earnings announcements, and distance
learning, by allowing companies and educational institutions to avoid
travel costs and increase employee productivity due to less traveling
and instant access to information.
All of Digital Lava's software is developed on an open and
scalable architecture. Digital Lava is dedicated to delivering its
core Video Publishing software as an open architecture that supports
the industry's most widely accepted video file formats including ASF,
MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI, QuickTime, and RealVideo 4.0 and 5.0.
In addition, Digital Lava supports streaming media technologies
such as Windows NT Server NetShow Services and Microsoft NetShow
Theater Server, RealNetworks RealSystem 5.0, Silicon Graphics
WebFORCE(tm) MediaBase, Starlight Networks, Xing Streamworks Server
and InfoValue Server.
