OPTX International's ScreenWatch 2.0 Software Records Seminars At RealNetworks' Real Conference 2000

CHICO,  Calif., May 25, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --  OPTX International
announces that its ScreenWatch 2.0 software will record seminars at the
RealNetworks(TM) Real Conference 2000, May 22-26 at the San Jose Convention
Center, San Jose, California.

According to Steve McMillen, systems engineer, with RealNetworks, "We will be using ScreenWatch to record information from the content creation and the software developer workshops. This equals 16 hours of content, but with ScreenWatch the production time is greatly reduced because content is essentially encoded in real time. Even though we are adding a lot of supplemental information to the final content, the total authoring time is not significantly increased due to the ScreenWatch components."

The seminars will be streamed over the Internet and subscribers can access them at http://www.training.real.com/rconline. Some of the sessions that will be available include "SMIL - The Basics," "Understanding Video Production," and a two-part session on "Building a RealSystem G2 DataType" along with many others. For a full seminar listing visit www.real.com.

ScreenWatch from OPTX International just celebrated its one-year anniversary. "ScreenWatch software offers users great versatility," comments President and CEO of OPTX International, Brian Meyerpeter. With ScreenWatch, companies have a simple, direct process to record hours of live conferences or training, and have them Internet-ready in almost no time at all. ScreenWatch makes companies more productive because it opens up new capabilities they never had before." ScreenWatch customers include the U.S. Navy, Harvard University, Stanford University, Applied Materials, Datastream, Merant, University of Maryland, National Medical Library, Siebel Systems, and the University of North Texas.
