WALLINGFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprise IP video leader VBrick Systems today unveiled major advancements to the industry’s most comprehensive portfolio of solutions to capture video and multimedia assets. With these announcements, VBrick’s Rich Media Studio (RMS) and Rich Media Desktop (RMD) products let anyone create HD-quality, compelling video content by mixing computer screen output, multiple live camera inputs and audio with simple point-and-click or touch-screen interaction. VBrick is raising the bar for production quality while lowering ease-of-use barriers to broadcasting classroom and company training, corporate events, executive broadcasts, government webcasts, and church services. The new generations of the RMS and RMD will be shown in booth number 107 at the upcoming Streaming Media East Conference, May 15-16 at the Hilton, NYC.
VBrick’s RMS appliance family and RMD desktop software are unique because they combine the capabilities of a video encoder (up to 4 different camera feeds), a switcher (for different views/scenes) and rich media inputs for desktop capture (to share presentations, spreadsheets, photos, etc.). They are ideal for creating sophisticated professional video productions without requiring a table full of equipment and team of videographers. The enhanced portfolio provides three hardware/software platforms as well as a software only solution; enabling customers to easily choose the appropriate level of functionality and value for their application.
“Visit any classroom or college campus and you are likely to see students viewing and sharing video on their tablets and smartphones. They are watching everything from last week’s history class or yesterday’s football game. Visit your favorite company website or Intranet and you’ll likely see more video; reinforcing a company’s mission and brand, offering training, delivering product announcements and more. Using video is simply how we expect to communicate. As the demand for video-based information has exploded, there is a need to create richer content without having to engage production staff or incur production costs,” said John Shaw, chief operating officer at VBrick. “With today’s announcement, VBrick flattens the barriers to professional grade content creation.”
The new lineup of products include the appliance-based RMS HD and RMS Portable HD which are ideal for boardrooms and classrooms, as well as the software-based RMD that can be installed on PCs/MACs to enable personal, anytime-anywhere broadcasting.
The RMS and RMD product lines include the following new capabilities:
