Advanced Media Design (AMD), the leading developer of the award-winning AV-over-IP collaboration technology MediaPOINTE®, today announced a special bundle of its acclaimed MPEG-2 Digital Network Streamer (DNS) products targeted specifically for educational institutions. This bundle simplifies the purchase process for educators and provides a starter kit in a cost effective package. This bundle offers clients a 20% savings over the purchase of the separate components.
The DNS series of products allows educators to stream full motion video up to DVD quality with audio, over IP networks from one location to many, thereby extending the digital classroom. The Education Bundle is comprised of six DNS150 series composite / S-video decoder cards and six DNS100 blade-based series encoders. The MediaPOINTE Digital Media Management System's 21-slot chassis is also included with redundant power supplies for unparalleled reliability. A one-year maintenance agreement, which provides 24-hour advance replacement complete with free software upgrades, rounds out the package.
"Our education-based customers consistently requested a specific group of products to use as a platform for streaming video," said Colin Sturtevant, vice president, sales and marketing, AMD/MediaPOINTE. "This bundle demonstrates that we are listening to our customers' requests and acting quickly to fulfill their needs."
Customers can also scale the base bundle to fit specific applications, and include other MediaPOINTE products such as software players and its award-winning Digital Media Recorders. This offers unlimited flexibility to an educator's capacity to provide quality content to their students.
The DNS150 series of products features unparalleled simplicity in deployment, management and maintenance. Built primarily for video distribution over existing IP networks, each device provides a specific input format (composite video, S-video, or SDI video) for versatility; all stream in MPEG-2 providing DVD-quality video and CD-quality stereo audio, and are packaged in a compact, flexible "blade-based" appliance that connects via a 10/100 Ethernet network for system and control flexibility.
"This bundle confirms our commitment to making high-value solutions available to our important education market," noted Steve Villoria, CEO, AMD/MediaPOINTE. About MediaPOINTE by Advanced Media Design.

Extending its suite of innovative broadband media offerings, 2Wire today introduced the MediaPoint(TM) broadband entertainment solution, a customizable platform that unites the television with Internet video, music, and photos, as well as personal networked media content.
The MediaPoint solution combines a digital media player with the 2Wire Service Management System (SMS) and Media Software, enabling the integration of multiple sources of Internet content as well as operator billing, account management, and content distribution. This comprehensive turnkey solution gives service providers the ability to immediately offer subscribers a complete suite of entertainment services at a fraction of the cost of facilities-based solutions.
For subscribers, the MediaPoint solution offers an intuitive, compelling experience of new media. It provides a simple means of browsing, downloading, and viewing DVD-quality video and movies, listening to streaming music, viewing and sharing photos, and accessing personal networked media content -- all on the television, using any broadband connection. "The MediaPoint broadband entertainment solution enables attractive service offerings for providers, and a full-featured, user-friendly experience for subscribers. It bridges the divide between the Internet and the television with one integrated, provider-branded user experience," said Jonathan Symonds, VP of product marketing and management, media, at 2Wire. "MediaPoint broadband entertainment platform provides a fully managed solution at a price point that enables significant marketing flexibility for the operator."
A Flexible Broadband Entertainment Solution
The MediaPoint broadband entertainment solution is comprised of three components: the MediaPoint digital media player, 2Wire Media Software, and the 2Wire Service Management System (SMS): The MediaPoint digital media player, designed and specified by 2Wire, is the hardware component of the MediaPoint broadband entertainment solution. It includes support for SD and HD content, SD and HD TV interfaces, wired and wireless network connectivity, internal storage, and USB expansion. It supports connections to televisions via HDMI, Component, Composite, and Optical Audio. In addition, the MediaPoint digital media player can be customized by the provider with the storage and external interface options that best fit their offering, pricing, and deployment schedule.
2Wire Media Software enables a fully converged experience of Internet video and local media on the television. Via an intuitive, provider-branded user interface, users can access online streaming video, browse and download movies for viewing on their television sets, and enjoy music, photos, and other Web-based entertainment services. The software also includes UPnP AV and DLNA technology that automatically discovers media content stored on every networked device in the home and displays it on the TV for fast, easy access. 2Wire Media Software also supports key service elements such as subscription or "a la carte" purchasing or rental models, Parental Controls, customizable interfaces, and an integrated advertising model.
The 2Wire Service Management System (SMS) enables service providers to manage all aspects of their broadband entertainment services, including operator billing, account management, and content distribution and licensing systems. Built-in set-top box management and diagnostic and reporting tools can help to decrease customer care costs, while support for pre-roll, post-roll, and overlay advertising offer revenue-generating opportunities. With 2Wire SMS, service providers can deliver efficient subscriber service activation, account creation, authentication, billing, and near-instantaneous, on-demand content delivery.

The Digital Media Recorder (DMR) from MediaPOINTE is designed to help users search material and play back on demand. Data can be recorded, archived, and streamed for up to 1,500 hours. Educational content can be recorded from a video endpoint and can be accessed by those in a department or school. Video meetings can be recorded and viewed Locally, copied to a USB storage unit, downloaded over a network, or streamed to standard PCs.
If used during a video conference, the DMR200's camera images as well as the computer graphics such as a spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation are designed to be as clear as the originals. DMR100 is more like TiVo in that it's a video-only recorder. DMR300 is designed to record three separate streams for clarity for recording and playing back of conferences. It will record two video streams, usually the near-end and far-end camera views of the participants, and it will record a high-resolution stream for the content such as a computer graphic spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation. Since each stream is recorded separately, a user has some flexibility on how to record and play them back.
