UCOME Resells ScreenWatch Software into Taiwan Market

 CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2002--OPTX International, developer of easy-to-use ScreenWatch™ software, has signed a reselling agreement with UCOME, which is located in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. ScreenWatch is the only scalable screen recording solution that combines video and audio with applications, spreadsheets, PowerPoint, and whiteboard content in real-time for streaming. UCOME distributes Virtual Ink's mimio® whiteboard that is part of ScreenWatch's Classroom Edition™ bundle. UCOME and OPTX International have agreed to a collaborative effort to create a traditional Chinese language version of ScreenWatch Producer™.
    UCOME was founded over eight years ago in Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan. UCOME develops, integrates, markets and distributes solutions to all sectors of the country's thriving e-learning market. "The integration of ScreenWatch and mimio is a compelling e-learning solution for education, government, and industry," states UCOME's Executive Vice President, Alex Wu. "There simply isn't any competition to ScreenWatch in this market. The hardest part for e-learning providers is to quickly create high-quality Internet content. ScreenWatch and mimio are the most powerful Internet content generators we have ever seen. We are excited about the prospect of offering such a superior application solution for our clients."
    ScreenWatch software is the heart of the Workplace Communicator™ and Classroom Edition™ bundles. The Workplace Communicator combines the applications for corporate communications, presentations and training. The Classroom Edition is designed for recording, streaming, and archiving standup classroom instruction. Both bundles include ScreenWatch Producer™ Software, RealProducer, and Windows media encoder. The Workplace Communicator bundle also includes a microphone/Webcam combination. Besides the software and encoder, the Classroom Edition bundle also includes Virtual Ink's mimio®, which attaches to any whiteboard and electronically captures anything written or drawn to a computer in color and real time. ScreenWatch and mimio provide smooth, professional results over low bandwidths.
    ScreenWatch Producer is the only screen capture software supporting RealServer, Linux®, Solaris™, HP-UX, and Windows 2000/NT systems. ScreenWatch records using Windows 2000 and XP. It plays back using RealNetworks® and Windows media streaming technology.
