FVC.COM INTRODUCES CONTENT DISTRIBUTION DEVICE FOR VIDEO, IMAGES AND TEXT V-KIOSK DELIVERS CUSTOMIZABLE PROGRAMMING OVER BROADBAND NETWORKS
Story Filed: Monday, November 22, 1999 8:00 AM EST
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov 22, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Expanding its video systems product line, FVC.COM (Nasdaq: FVCX) today
introduced a content distribution device that delivers streamed video,
audio, images and text across broadband networks. The V-Kiosk provides
remote scheduling and management of content originating from various
sources, including live satellite feeds, stored digital archives, third
party content and live broadcast.
Video kiosks are used in environments that require timely information
distribution throughout a location, such as retail stores, airports,
theaters, educational campuses and healthcare facilities. The
traditional method for content distribution has been cable television
networks (CATV), which are costly and do not easily allow
custom-tailoring of content. The V-Kiosk allows organizations to
distribute content over their existing data networks, rather than
requiring a separate CATV network. The V-Kiosk leapfrogs the
capabilities of CATV distribution by providing enormous flexibility to
tailor content to fit the needs of the time, audience, special event,
etc. -- all at lower cost.
The V-Kiosk scheduler software enables easy remote management of the
kiosk network including setting up program schedules. Once scheduled,
programming is streamed to network-attached television outputs. Each
television can play a completely different schedule, or they can be
grouped into "channels" that play the same content using the same
schedule, making it easy to schedule a large number of kiosks
simultaneously.
The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, Calif. has implemented the
V-Kiosk to schedule and broadcast continuous programming in their
public areas. "The V-Kiosk is the ideal programming solution for
organizations that want to leverage their digital video archives and
deliver tailor-made programming easily," explains Mike Drennan, Exhibit
Engineer for the Tech Museum. "I can distribute any combination of
content in any order to any networked television. There is no way I
would have that flexibility with a traditional cable television
system."
"The V-Kiosk is another indication of our commitment to innovation in
the video networking space," says Allwyn Sequeira, EVP of Products for
FVC.COM. "By leveraging broadband networks for applications such as
content distribution, our customers can exploit network convergence and
reap the benefits of increased quality for lower costs."
Pricing and Availability Pricing for the V-Kiosk starts at $10,500 for
a single-channel unit, and is available starting December 1, 1999
through FVC.COM distribution channels worldwide.
