CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 24, 2001
New ScreenWatch™ 4.0 software from OPTX International features Producer and Publishing Wizards that change the course of workplace communication production and access. In Chico, California for ten years, OPTX is a leader of streaming media technology and is a partner with RealNetworks®. Its ScreenWatch software is acknowledged as the best solution for incorporating high-quality recordings of screen activity into streamed presentations. OPTX has revolutionized the process of blending applications used for training, sales, marketing, help desks, and educational communications.
    Brian Meyerpeter, president and CEO of OPTX, shares his enthusiasm: "ScreenWatch is the multi-platform solution for communicators who demand high-quality results for desktop recording and streaming of workplace content. We wanted to simplify the process of producing and sending workplace communications from desktops, and we've done that with ScreenWatch 4.0. Never before have presentations been easier to produce and stream."
    ScreenWatch's new easy-to-use Click and Stream ™ Wizard simplifies screen capture and enables novices and experts to create sophisticated presentations for streaming.
    ScreenWatch's Producer and Publisher Wizards blend screen capture, audio, video, whiteboard, and streaming functions. ScreenWatch Producer automatically launches PowerPoint, Corel, STAR Office Presenter, and other applications so professionals are no longer mired in production details. It provides easy-to-read performance graphs, such as file size, bandwidth requirements, and frames per second. ScreenWatch Publisher Wizard makes the publishing of your screen recordings in one easy step. Once the project is complete, ScreenWatch publishes presentations for easy access at on-site or remote desktops.
    "We developed ScreenWatch 4.0 for people who demand ease of use and the ability to create high-quality presentations," comments Meyerpeter. This software records computer screen and mouse activity and streams live or archived content for on-demand playback. ScreenWatch is the only screen capture software that supports Windows and Unix systems, and Real Media and Windows streaming technologies. ScreenWatch works with RealServer on Linux, Solaris™, and HP-UX as well as Windows 2000 and Windows NT systems. This is the only software that enables users to record with a choice of three resolution levels. ScreenWatch beta 4.0 will be available early December 2001.
    OPTX serves organizations requiring high-quality screen recording and playback for workplace communications, training, and education. The US Navy, National Medical Library, AVAYA, Tivoli Systems, Novell, Cadence, and major universities nationwide have adopted ScreenWatch. ScreenWatch is distributed worldwide.
