| ComVu Announces DIY Event Webcasting
Leveraging Ultra Mobile PC Power and Portability |
| ComVu PocketCaster Pro™ beta for Windows XP portable devices provides an automated, high-quality solution for Webcasting events live from anywhere |
| Vancouver — October 9, 2006 — ComVu
Media Inc, an innovator in the mobile video broadcasting industry,
unveiled PocketCaster Pro™, a PC-based personal Webcasting solution.
Demonstrated in Intel’s Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) Community Showcase
last week at the Intel Developer Forum, PocketCaster Pro beta
now extends the automated Webcasting features and functionality
of the Company’s award-winning mobile phone application, PocketCaster™,
to the portable PC platform enabling enhanced Webcast quality.
|
| The simple and cost-effective service is perfect for enabling
DIY broadcasts of important family gatherings, entertainment
venues, or educational seminars. The PocketCaster Pro beta functions
with any portable PC device with a built-in camera, or connected
Web cam/DV cam, and network access through a cellular PC card
or wireless broadband connection. |
| "As PC devices become more powerful and portable, they
offer the ideal platform for live Webcasting of all types of
personal and professional events, however, the missing piece
of the equation has always been the automated software and services
that make the process 'one-button' simple — this is what ComVu
provides," says William Mutual, ComVu CEO. "With the
launch of PocketCaster Pro beta, we have now opened up our automated
Webcasting solution to anyone, anywhere through a variety of
portable platforms ranging from pocket-sized mobile phones to
powerful UMPC’s and laptops." |
| ComVu’s automated services are powered by the company’s "Bandwidth
Exchange," a patent-pending network and account management
system that controls bandwidth consumption, account permissions,
video storage, monitoring, reporting, and billing. ComVu’s automated
streaming server architecture has transformed the state of Webcasting
from its existing labor intensive limitations, propelling it
into a simple and inexpensive mobile communication service.
|
| "We were very excited our 'Heart of Silicon Valley' charitable
fund raising event featuring Grammy Award winning artists David
Benoit and David Pack was able to reach donors who could not
personally attend," stated Jeff Pollock, co-founder of
the Heart of Silicon Valley. "ComVu’s automated PocketCaster
Pro Webcasting solution makes our dream of reaching a global
audience and lengthening our market reach, finally become a
reality." |
| Anyone interested in applying for the PocketCaster Pro beta
program can sign up at ComVu’s website,
through October 2006. The solution is expected to publicly launch
in Q4 2006, and will be available for a low monthly subscription
fee or per-event basis. |
