VIDi Designed for Digital Signage, Education and Enterprise Applications

NEWBURY PARK, Calif. – June 18, 2008 – Advanced Media Design (AMD), developer of the award-winning AV-over-IP collaboration technology MediaPOINTE®, today announced its VIDi2 and VIDi4 blade-based digital video encoders designed to work in conjunction with its VIDi2d and VIDi4d decoders. The VIDi2 encodes in MPEG-2 and the VIDi4 encodes in MPEG-4; the blades can be placed in a two-or seventeen-slot chassis. All of these new products are debuting in booth #C3431 at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas, June 18-20, 2008.

MediaPOINTE’s VIDi devices accept video from live television or cable broadcasts, DVD, security cameras or other audio and video sources and stream them up to high-definition video quality. Users simply plug a video source directly into a blade, connect the VIDi to a network and stream in real time; decoders are connected directly to a display and content is selected via handheld IR remote control.

“It’s so easy to use our new VIDi products,� said Gareth Wade, vice president, sales and marketing, MediaPOINTE. “The ability to change channels with the hand-held remote control allows users to select the channel they want, and view it on whatever display they want. It is that simple.�

There are a wide variety of applications for MediaPOINTE’s VIDi streamers: schools and universities stream DVDs or television broadcasts from one administrative point; retailers stream ever-changing video storewide; businesses broadcast financial reports or presentations, all in full motion video without delays or jitter.

“Our new VIDi devices are an exciting addition to our line,� added Wade, “We’re constantly improving our products and are looking forward to show our advanced new VIDi series to our customers at InfoComm.�
