Atlanta, GA – May 29, 2007 — Visix, Inc. announced the official release of AxisTV v.6.6. The upgrade is available for immediate download from the company‘s Web site, free of charge, to all Software Maintenance and Support Agreement (SMA) clients. New AxisTV orders received after June 1, 2007 will ship with v.6.6 loaded on integrated Content Servers and Channel Players.
Version 6.6 includes two new client-requested features and support tools designed to improve the user experience. New optional features include support for media streaming and video overlay with onboard tuner support. The media streaming support option enables users to schedule a live or pre-recorded media stream to be displayed in a Channel Player content block. This feature provides clients the ability to display endless sources of captivating video content, ranging from internal communications and event information to breaking news, weather and sports.
The release also supports a new video overlay card featuring integrated tuner capabilities. The inclusion of the option is designed to significantly enhance the user experience by integrating tuner control in a browser and provide a simple and cost-effective video source solution by eliminating the need for additional hardware like an external tuner.
“These features were developed to address two critical needs specifically requested by Visix clients. In previous AxisTV releases, video content had to be created or encoded and saved in a flat file media format like FlashA®, .mpg or .avi. Next, the file had to be uploaded and scheduled to play. With support for live or archived streaming media and the addition of the onboard tuner, users can point to a specific URL or tune to a television channel and deliver rich media content as the events unfold,” says Trey Hicks, Vice President, Sales.
