Imagine having a network-based video solution that allows you to experience high-quality video and sound on any device, from boardroom big-screen, to the conference room TV, to office PCs, to all your road warriors' PDAs. That's what VBrick is all about. Their MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 encoders and decoders are in use around the world in applications such as broadcasting, video on demand, video conferencing, distance learning, and a wide variety of corporate training applications.

Systems are being used in Iraq to distribute news and entertainment to the troops; the California Transportation Department is using a VBrick network to monitor traffic cams; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is sending video pictures from the bottom of the ocean live over the Internet to educators and students worldwide.

Imagine being able to set up a system in your client's company that allows all employees to access a vast library of training video clips when needed to perform a particular procedure. If standard streaming technologies, like Windows Media, Real, and QuickTime are simply not good enough, VBrick may be the answer.

This meeting will present ideas on how video professionals can take advantage of MPEG-based networking technologies. Learn how MPEG-4 is where video compression is going. If you're interested in making sure video on computers looks good, or using existing Ethernet computer networks as a broadcast distribution system, this meeting is for you. Come hear about real case studies and see a live technology demonstration. No RSVPs are required for the meeting.
