VX30 is ideal for the Education marketplace

Video-on-demand applications are particularly relevant for higher education, where desktop users can view archived class lectures, take a campus tour, watch a presentation by a guest lecturer, and see university-produced "infomercials". Schools can develop extensive On-Demand video libraries of lectures, recitals, performances, and presentations, along with video tours of campus facilities and the surrounding area.

In addition, the broadcasting of live events is becoming increasingly important, as travel costs are sometimes prohibitive for out-of-state guests and relatives. A good example of the potential for live broadcasting would be a commencement. Often, relatives of graduating students are not able to attend commencement, but certainly have access to watch a "live" broadcast of the commencement ceremony via the Internet. Think of parent's excitement as they watch their son or daughter walk across the stage to receive their diploma, all from a desktop or notebook computer attached to the Internet.

Live broadcasting can be used by colleges and universities to broadcast important announcements and presentations by administrators, professors and guests to the school. In addition, each event can certainly be recorded and made available for On-Demand requests by anyone with a connection to the Internet.

Colleges and universities have a diverse client environment, with users having a variety of ways to connect to the Internet. Also, students and faculty alike, have a wide range of hardware and software configurations, from the oldest technology to the newest technological devices on the market. VX30 is ideal for a highly-diverse environment, since it relies on Java technology, and is not dependent on a particular operating system or hardware configuration.

Another unique aspect of colleges and universities, is the dispersal of knowledge throughout the campus, and possibly, the world. VX30 allows the academic content creation to take place with the content creators, the experts, who want to easily author, encode and make-ready video files for distribution, all in a bandwidth-friendly manner. VX30 can be placed where the content creation occurs, and a process put in place to allow for the placement of video files on the appropriate server hardware for distribution.
