Press Release Summary = VX30 streamlines video delivery processes, raises productivity with media-rich content, and reduces costs and complexity with out needing to download a media player or plug-in.
Lahaina, HI. - In a recent study among five (5) streaming video technologies currently available, VX30 was voted #1, outperforming Flash, Microsoft Media, Real Player and Quicktime. VX30 is a player-less, Java-based, cross-platform software application that takes digital files and converts them into a format ready to be streamed from any standard HTTP web server. Different from their competitors, VX30 requires no downloading, installing or upgrading of different media players or plug-ins on an individual's computer, which can be costly, complicated, time consuming and frustrating. VX30 videos can be viewed from any Java-enabled web browser running on any host including Solaris, Linux, OS X, and Windows workstations.
Dr. Edgar Huang, lead author of the August 2006 study states, "Our study shows that VX30 has the best potential to become an ideal technology for video streaming.it is the number one streaming technology."*
"VX30's unsigned Java applet requires no intervention from the user to instantly load and has the highest security restrictions of any applet," states Jonathan Miller General Manger of VX30. "This ease-of-use, coupled with high security restrictions also helps in eliminating headaches caused by what has now become a prime target for viruses -- media players"
Some of the key features of VX30 include: Easy to Use, Player-Less Viewing - Player-like capability, with no media player to download or maintain on a user's computer. This eliminates the headache of constantly installing, upgrading, or adding plug-in software to users' computers. Scalability/Server Technology -VX30 does not require specialized server configurations or software to operate which helps save money, time and effort. VX30 video files reside on-demand on the server and are linked to web pages just like a .JPEG or .GIF file. Easy-To-Encode - The VX30 encoder has an intuitive user interface. Even a novice can quickly create the files necessary to stream video from a website. Bandwidth Detection - The VX30 Java player applet has built in bandwidth detection algorithms that automatically choose the best quality video stream for a client's network capability Secure SSL Video Streaming - Video streams can be sent over SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for highly secure transmission. Digital Rights Management - VX30 video files are enveloped in a secure format and can only be opened by a key created with the web site's qualified domain name (from which video file is being streamed). Video Magnification - VX30 videos can easily be toggled from in-line to windowed mode by clicking on the bottom right-hand corner of any video or by right-clicking the video applet and choosing "zoom." AJAX Customization - The VX30 Video Applet allows users to set-up JavaScript Events and to control playback of the video. JavaScript Events can be timed, stopped, paused and be used for tracking functions, playing videos in succession or enabling graphical effects. Patented Technology - VX30 holds the patent to "Player-Less" streaming. For additional information on this patent, please visit the USPTO and do a search on US Patent #6,938,047.
Some examples of VX30 companies using the streaming media technology are Yellowstone National Park, who chose it to power their award-winning web site www.yellowstonepark.com. Also, Maui's Visitor Channel 7 www.mauionline.com, chose it knowing media player compatibility would not be an issue for viewers when watching their live Internet broadcast.
About VX30 With headquarters in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii, VX30 has been integral in advancing the world of player-less streaming media. As a new Sun Microsystems Partner, VX30's Java-based platform looks to be a universal leader in the streaming media software community.
