Envivio Unveils 4Forum™ Lite MPEG-4 Portable Webcasting System for Enterprise, Education, and Government Environments
Affordable Appliance for Multi-Object MPEG-4 Webcasting Will be Launched at the NAB 2004 Conference and Exhibition, Las Vegas, Booth SL 5842
San Francisco, CA, April 14, 2004 – Envivio, Inc., a leading provider of MPEG-4 and H.264 broadcast and streaming solutions, today unveiled its 4Forum™ Lite MPEG-4 webcasting system, which complements the already successful 4Forum family of products. The 4Forum Lite system is a small, lightweight, portable, quiet ‘plug & play’ appliance that instantaneously enables a conference room to broadcast live and on-demand MPEG-4 presentations with synchronized video and presenter’s PC screen capture over IP networks.
As convenient as a video projector, presenters simply plug the VGA cable of the 4Forum Lite appliance to their laptop, which immediately allows them to share their PC screens along with video from a camera, audio, and interactivity.
As with all of the 4Forum family of products, 4Forum Lite uses the MPEG-4 Systems Specification to deliver interactive and perfectly synchronized webcasts with a sub-second latency and the ability to scale delivery to thousands of viewers. It is controlled through a web-based interface to easily customize presentations, start and stop the webcasts, post edit, and manage presentations for later on-demand delivery from a video streaming server.
“4Forum Lite brings to every conference room and classroom a powerful MPEG-4 webcasting capability condensed in a compact and portable appliance,” said Guillaume Cohen, Director of Enterprise Marketing at Envivio. “It complements the 4Forum family with an affordable solution for low-budget deployments with small numbers of viewers, without compromising versatility and the ability to expand later to a global scale with thousands of viewers.”
The 4Forum Lite portable webcasting system will be shown for the duration of the NAB 2004 conference and exhibition at Envivio booth SL 5842.
