SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Virage, Inc. (Nasdaq:VRGE), a leading provider of video and rich media communication software, today announced that it will showcase its newest software solutions for professional video production, Internet publishing, and webcasting at the IBC 2002 Conference in Amsterdam, September 13-17 at the RAI Convention Center. Located in Booth #2.131, Virage will demonstrate its VS Production(tm), VS Publishing(tm), VS Webcasting(tm), and VS Learning(tm) applications for media & entertainment companies, corporations, government agencies and universities.
VS Production is a fully integrated software solution for professional video production that streamlines the video production and archiving workflow from content acquisition to distribution. The software solution automates critical workflow functions to help broadcasters and other video production professionals reduce operating costs, improve programming quality, preserve assets and speed time-to-air. VS Production creates a structured video index while simultaneously controlling multiple encoders, including the Grass Valley Profile(r) XP Servers to simultaneously create multiple high- and low-resolution video formats, such as MPEG-2, MPEG-1 and streaming formats. Users can search for specific content throughout the entire video repository, including Grass Valley Content Share(tm) compliant servers, by entering keywords or time code to quickly locate and assemble frame-accurate video segments in preparation for editorial or other purposes.
VS Publishing automates packaging, distribution and publishing of video and rich media content to the Internet and corporate Intranets. Virage developed VS Publishing to enable small production teams to deliver large volumes of content to diverse audiences. Anyone involved in the website publishing process has control over content throughout the entire publishing lifecycle -- from digitization and creation to delivery of finished packages, to usage tracking and reporting. The new software is designed to support new business opportunities involving advertising, subscription services and content syndication.
VS Webcasting is the first comprehensive webcasting application that empowers organizations to efficiently and easily manage the entire workflow related to producing live, rebroadcast and on-demand events. The webcast solution is utilized today for executive, human resource, online learning, training, sales and marketing communications. In addition to its interactive features, VS Webcasting includes audio and video synchronization with slide presentations, documents, polls and Q&A. VS Webcasting is aimed at facilitating communication anywhere, anytime for enterprises, educational institutions and government agencies to promote knowledge delivery via the Internet and corporate Intranets.
All Virage applications are built upon the company's award-winning rich media application platform, which includes the Virage SmartEncode(tm) and Virage Solution Server(tm). The Virage solutions support the Oracle9i Database to deliver the highest levels of security, reliability, and scalability. For maximum flexibility, optional software developer's kits (SDKs) enable custom application development and integration with other enterprise applications.
