And something to chew on from Real Networks (this will be presented at Streaming Media West) Real to use Intel's slide presentation technology By Stephanie Miles Staff Writer, CNET News.com December 3, 1999, 5:30 p.m. PT On Monday, Real Networks will unveil the RealPresenter technology, which will allow companies to stream slide presentations via the Internet. Real Networks has licensed the Intel Internet Presentation software from the chip giant and will incorporate it into its product, sources close to Intel confirmed. With the IIPS, companies can send presentations such as those created using Microsoft's PowerPoint over the Internet. Already, many companies use the Internet for "Webcasts," of important announcements, such as earnings reports. Now, Intel and Real will be streamlining the process by offering automated slide-show software. Real Networks declined to comment. The two companies last year entered into an alliance to cooperate on Internet video technology. Real's streaming media technology allows Web surfers to watch video or listen to audio in real time, rather than downloading the media to their hard drive and playing it back. Both companies are interested in advancing the popularity and relevance of streaming broadcasts, for separate reasons. For Real, the company's business depends on propagating its software as the dominant tool for such broadcasts. Intel, on the other hand, benefits as consumers upgrade to pricier computers which can handle these bandwidth and processor-intensive broadcasts. When released, the software will be a plug-in, downloaded as an addition to typical Internet surfing software. Dubbed RealPresenter, the plug-in will work in tandem with Real Networks streaming software. News.com's Michael Kanellos contributed to this story.
