Streamed and Recorded Content Viewing is a Snap for Business, Commercial and Educational Applications

NEWBURY PARK, Calif. – June 18, 2008 – Advanced Media Design (AMD), developer of the award-winning AV-over-IP collaboration technology MediaPOINTE®, is announcing two new products that enable live or recorded content to be displayed on any output device such as a plasma, LCD, television or projector.

MediaPOINTE’s new Digital Media Decoder (DMD) 200 and Digital Video Player (DVP) 200 support MPEG-4 part 10 and play content originating from MediaPOINTE’s new Digital Network Streamer (DNS) 210e, also announced today, or its Digital Media Recorder (DMR) 210e. The DMD200 plays live content only; the DVP200 plays live or recorded content.

MediaPOINTE products are designed for those who wish to share information at any time, without fuss or long preparation; these new products are ideal for delivering live or recorded content for distance learning, training, digital signage, and meeting collaboration, to name a few.

“Both new products are easy to install and use,� said Gareth Wade, vice president of sales and marketing, AMD/MediaPOINTE. “Simply connect them directly to an output device or display, link to a source stream via an IP address, and you’re immediately receiving streamed live or recorded content. These new devices further enhance and compliment MediaPOINTE’s ‘end to end solution’ for capture, archiving and streaming.

MediaPOINTE’s new DMD200 delivers only live streamed video from a MediaPOINTE DNS210e and can be discretely mounted behind a display device for digital signage applications, meetings, presentations, lectures, and television programs. With its small size, the DMD200 facilitates clean and uncluttered installation environments.

MediaPOINTE’s DVP200 offers a remote control and can connect to both MediaPOINTE DNS210e and DMR210e to display live content or to find and display previously recorded content. The device can sit either next to, under or near the display device. Via the remote control, web interface or RS232 connection, users simply find any live stream or file such as school announcements, classes, cable television programming, etc., and display it on any output device with a few clicks.

“In the past, we were limited to accessing streamed files via computer only,� added Wade. “With these new enhancements to our product line, our customers have a wider choice of display devices when viewing streamed content.�
