Accelerated Delivery of Next Generation Wireless Internet Applications |
| ComVu To Demonstrate Live Broadcast Technology
from a Mobile Device |
| CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment, San Francisco, CA,
September 27, 2005 - ComVu, a developer of innovative mobile
software and automated video delivery technologies, will be
in the Intel Corporation booth at the CTIA Wireless event to
showcase how the power of the Intel PXA27x processor family
based on Intel XScale® technology, are enabling smartphones
with next generation video capabilities. ComVu's live video
broadcasting solution has been highly optimized to leverage
Intel XScale technologies including: Intel® Wireless MMX™ technology
Intel® Performance Primitives multimedia libraries and Intel®
Wireless SpeedStep technology™ reduced power-consumption, to
enable live Webcasting from the palm of your hand. |
| Recently launched at DEMOfall, ComVu is the first to offer
mobile users the ability to transmit live video broadcasts of
any length and to any size audience, easily and inexpensively
using ComVu's innovative "do-it-yourself" streaming video network.
"We chose to showcase ComVu's mobile broadcasting technology
at our booth because it demonstrates the kind of applications
that consumers and enterprise users will want to see on their
next mobile device," said Gary Forni, Director of External Software
Enabling for Intel's Cellular and Handheld Group. "It's this
kind of compelling application, with its needs for higher processing
power, that will drive the deployment of Intel XScale technology
in mobile devices." |
| With the push of one button on a camera phone, mobile users
can now broadcast live events to viewers, who can watch the
video in real-time on mobile devices or PCs using Windows Media
compatible players. The broadcast is also automatically archived
on ComVu media servers for post Webcast, on-demand viewing,
"There are countless applications imaginable for live video
broadcasting for both business and entertainment," comments
William Mutual, CEO of ComVu. "From Bloggers wanting to transmit
video onsite from an event, to families wishing to share special
moments with distant members, to first-on-the-scene Citizen
Reporters transmitting as a story happens, to workers in the
field needing to use video to get their message across - anyone
can now have their own portable TV station ready to broadcast
at a moment's notice." |
| In creating this new service, ComVu has pioneered two fields:
live "one to many" transmission from a mobile device and a "do-it-yourself"
video network. ComVu's solution also integrates the following
key components: "one-button" Webcasting and event notification
software, automatic video archiving on ComVu media servers,
integrated support for major blogging services and provisioning
of a personal Webcast page for easy access to video(s) by viewers. |
| ComVu's service will be demonstrated on Intel XScale technology
powered phones and PDAs at the Intel booth at CTIA Wireless
IT and Entertainment. Trial software versions of PocketCaster
for specific XScale mobile devices is available for download
