CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--April 12, 2001 -- With 1.5 million downloads since March 2000,
multimedia professionals have made the right connection with OPTX International's
ScreenWatch(TM) software, the acknowledged leader in screen capture.
This phenomenal response reflects the versatility and convenience ScreenWatch
offers Internet professionals. In this highly competitive market, quality
is a vital element and ScreenWatch sets the standard as the first true-to-source
screen capture software that enables multimedia producers to record
and stream Windows applications in high color. Ideal for an array of
computer graphics, ScreenWatch streams live or archived content over
the Web at or below an economical 28.8 Kpbs bandwidth.
"The enthusiasm for this software is tremendously
satisfying to all of us who have worked to make ScreenWatch the choice
of multimedia professionals," affirms Brian Meyerpeter, OPTX International's
CEO. "Since our first release of ScreenWatch two years ago, we've focused
on ensuring that customers are able to incorporate high-quality screen
recordings into their multimedia presentations. It's been enjoyable
helping so many people take advantage of the flexibility ScreenWatch
offers," added Meyerpeter.
Those capabilities have led organizations such as Harvard Business School,
Cadence, and others to adopt the technology. AtClassNow creates Internet
presentations for software companies leveraging ScreenWatch. According
to Rupert A. McGinty, AtClassNow's chief technology officer, "OPTX helps
us create comprehensive training and cost-effective multimedia for our
online clients. The presentations we create are recorded and streamed
over the Internet using ScreenWatch software. Without ScreenWatch, we
would not be able to deliver our high-quality presentations so effectively."
ScreenWatch, a datatype supported by RealSystem(R), streams live or
archived screen recordings through RealPlayer(R). By integrating RealSystem
technology into ScreenWatch, OPTX makes the ability to view screen-captured
multimedia content available to over 190 million registered RealPlayer
users.
"We're excited that OPTX has chosen to integrate its innovative ScreenWatch
software with RealSystem, our core technology whose open, extensible
architecture supports over fifty datatypes," said Brian Hewitt, account
representative, RealNetworks, Inc. "Using ScreenWatch, I'm able to demonstrate
a software product or capture a presentation and immediately broadcast
it over the Internet."
ScreenWatch takes advantage of RealPlayer's AutoUpdate feature, which
enables users to quickly and easily upgrade their software and take
advantage of the latest technology offerings including support for datatypes,
improved codecs, and the latest plug ins. RealNetworks, the leader in
Internet media delivery, develops and markets software products and
services. RealPlayer enables users of personal computers and electronic
devices to send and receive audio, video, and other multimedia services
using the Web. AutoUpdate continually provides new format support, software
updates, new features, and updated documentation. It also keeps the
initial download size for RealPlayer and OPTX small and easily accessible.
OPTX serves organizations with common requirements for high-quality,
professional screen recording and playback for training, education,
and promotion. Harvard Business School, MicroStrategy, CAD-TV, and others
have adopted this software. ScreenWatch is distributed worldwide. For
