PockIt Recorder(TM) Captures Multimedia Content for PDA Playback Anywhere, Anytime
URL(s): www.pocketmultimedia.com
MYSTIC, Conn.-- Pocketmultimedia(TM), a leader in
the delivery of real-time wireless multimedia, today announced the
introduction of PockIt Recorder(TM), the newest addition to its commercial
multimedia software product suite. PockIt Recorder(TM) will be demonstrated
at the National Association of Broadcasters Show (booth L416) in Las Vegas,
April 23-26, 2001.
PockIt Recorder(TM) joins companion software products, PockIt(TM) &
UnPockIt(TM), currently available through several Web-based software
distributors, and PockIt Wireless(TM), a professional product available
through the Company. This exciting product suite provides personal data
assistants (PDAs) and pocket PC users full flexibility for obtaining and
viewing multimedia content and for professional applications, wireless
transmissions to PDAs.
PockIt Recorder(TM) enables VCR-like functions on the user's PC when used
in conjunction with a video signal tuner card. Users may simultaneously
record and compress multimedia content, a unique advantage over available
video recording software. PockIt Recorder(TM) saves content in real-time
directly into Pocketmultimedia's(TM) proprietary compression format (.PMM). A
two-hour movie is ready for play on the user's PDA in real-time -- not the
five or six hours required by other video recording software products.
Transferred by cable, removable micro-drive or via wireless download using
Pocketmultimedia's PockIt Wireless(TM) product, these video files can then be
uncompressed by UnPockIt(TM) and played directly on the user's PDA.
Joseph M. Kampf, President and CEO of Pocketmultimedia's parent, Anteon
Corporation, said, "Our Pocketmultimedia(TM) unit has now released a full
suite of products so that users may easily record in real-time, compress and
then view their choice of video anywhere and anytime. The ability to transmit
this same multimedia content over a variety of wireless networks presents
exciting application possibilities for consumers and businesses. Instant
information and entertainment programming, such as television, video
teleconferencing, training, marketing resources and surveillance are all
possibilities we've discussed with customers."
PockIt Recorder(TM) requires at least a Celeron 300 MHz processor with MMX
video playback capability. Licenses from Pocketmultimedia(TM) for the
application programmers' interface (API) library are also available. PockIt
Wireless(TM) provides real-time multimedia transmission on handheld and laptop
computers, operating in a personal area network (PAN) or local area network
(LAN) environment using IEEE 802.11b standard wireless protocol, as well as
Bluetooth short-range packet radio networking protocol.
PockIt Recorder(TM) is available from the Web-based distributors listed at
http://www.pocketmultimedia.com. PockIt Wireless(TM) for PAN or LAN environments is
priced according to the specific application. Additional pricing information
is available upon request.
Pocketmultimedia(TM) is a business unit of Anteon Corporation, a leading
information technology and e-business solutions company with annual revenue of
$650 million and 5,000 employees in over 80 offices worldwide.
Pocketmultimedia(TM) is an industry leader in the development of leading-edge
multimedia signal processing and wireless communications software. Anteon
