Sonic Foundry, Inc. (AMEX: SFO), a developer and marketer of media authoring tools for the Windows platform, announced the release of Stream Anywhere™, its robust, all-in-one media authoring tool for converting audio and video for Web streaming applications. The powerful yet simple-to-use Stream Anywhere allows Web developers to quickly and easily prepare audio, video, and synchronized metadata for distribution over the Internet. A comprehensive solution, Stream Anywhere fully supports the entire authoring process, from video capture through publishing of the final streaming program in a complete Web page layout. With this versatile media authoring tool, users now indeed have one-stop access to all of the essential video and audio pre-processing operations for re-purposing video content for Web streaming. Stream Anywhere has the ability to encode multimedia content in either the Microsoft Windows Media Technologies 4.0 or the RealNetworks RealSystem G2 format in a single operation. Media content can either be captured directly from camera or tape or imported in several popular file formats such as AVI, Apple QuickTime, MPEG-1, and MP3. Multiple bit rate encoding is fully supported as well, allowing the user to save a single media file that is capable of adapting to the bandwidth available on the client’s media player. Based on Sonic Foundry’s Vegas technology, a completely new software architecture optimized for multimedia content creation and streaming media authoring applications, Stream Anywhere features an advanced user interface with a visual timeline for trimming the video clip or synchronizing metadata events to audio and video. In addition, simple processing options optimize the video and audio quality prior to encoding to streaming formats, and as a final touch, an image watermark can overlay a personalized logo graphic prior to encoding the streaming video. To complete the video conversion to Web streaming, the media player layout is selected and refined as needed, and is then ready for use on a personal home page or streaming media server. Users of Microsoft FrontPage in particular will find encoded media files already arranged as FrontPage components, ready to be selected and dropped into the Web page design. The versatility of Stream Anywhere makes it an ideal solution for Web development, distance learning and training, personal Web publishing, as well as on-demand Internet broadcasting. To ensure optimum ease-of-use, the software guides the user through each step in the process of authoring streaming media for distribution over the Internet or a corporate Intranet.
