The Telepresenter™ M4 is a WUXGA (1920x1200) Multimedia Production Appliance. The product integrates video, audio, and high-resolution WUXGA graphics in a PIP (Picture in Picture) format.
Designed for maximum ease-of-use, the M4 will capture multiple UXGA inputs, compose them into a single H.264 stream using custom or predefined layouts, cast the stream onto networks such as the internet, copy the stream to local storage for archival playback, and collaborate with other Telepresenters, affording fully interactive presentations.
Setting up a Telepresenter™ M4 is as simple as attaching feeds, such as a HiDef Camera, a Presentation PC, a Microphone and/or a DVD player, connecting it to the network, and starting a session through a simple web interface. Of course, the Telepresenter also offers advanced customizations giving you simplicity with robust control.
The Telepresenter M4 adds post-session transcoding to multiple formats, real-time closed-caption and chaptering commands, dynamic text overlays, enhanced channel presets, configuration save & restore and secure file upload to the product line.
In support of the M4, a new version of the NWay™ Streaming Server is being introduced which will enable live and archived streaming with Flash media players, the most widely available players in the industry today. With the nearly universal deployment of these players, any Windows desktop will play the Telepresenter generated content without any additional software downloads or installations.

The NCast N-Way Server is a versatile adjunct to Telepresenters delivering advanced network functionality and media on demand to organizations that use them.

By creating a tunnel for multicast traffic from Telepresenters, the N-Way server can cast out to large user populations, delivering all the benefits of a multicast network even when used on unicast networks.
In the collaboration mode, the N-Way server acts as a multimedia conferencing bridge, rapidly connecting 'N' number of users together for conferencing applications.
