<p>Vara's Wirecast delivers Tiger webcasting with Wirecast 2.0</p>
<p>LONDON, England -- May 10, 2005 -- Wirecast, the most powerful webcasting<br />
solution for Macintosh, has been updated to leverage the raw power of<br />
Apple's Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger".</p>
<p>"Wirecast 2.0 takes advantage of almost every new major features of Tiger<br />
and delivers it in a beautiful package." says Paul Carnine, President of<br />
Products of Vara Software. "A Core Image Ripple transition broadcast live<br />
in H.264 is a sight to see."</p>
<p>With Wirecast, you can replace a whole broadcast studio with a Macintosh<br />
for creating web broadcasts, and version 2.0 brings a whole list of<br />
powerful firsts:</p>
<p>First Multiple Bitrate Output on Macintosh</p>
<p>"Our users told us they wanted to broadcast to 3GPP phones and the internet<br />
at the same time," said Simon Clarke, President of Technology for Vara<br />
Software, "You can use as many combinations of encoding configurations you<br />
like, and Wirecast can generate a QuickTime reference movie that allows<br />
users to automatically choose the best stream for their connection."</p>
<p>First Chroma Key for Live Broadcast on Macintosh</p>
<p>Wirecast 2.0 offers a high quality, real-time green/blue screen solution.<br />
Have your talent present in front of a green screen and project them into<br />
any scene you wish. "Our students love using this for our weekly school<br />
video. What blew me away was the automatic configuration. We set up our<br />
lighting, pressed 'chroma key' and the green screen just dropped away." --<br />
Julia Renfo, Educator.</p>
<p>First integration of Core Image Transitions / Filters in Live Video</p>
<p>Wirecast has always had beautiful 3D transitions, but now any Core Image<br />
Transition can now be used in Wirecast. Want a pixel perfect Page Curl?<br />
Elegant Ripple? Wirecast makes it easy for you to choose and configure.<br />
Core Image also introduces the concept of GPU accelerated Filters. Want<br />
your video to have a Sepia look -- just add Core Image Sepia Tone filter to<br />
the shot and adjust the Intensity as you wish. The best part is as<br />
developers create new Core Image transitions and filters, Wirecast will<br />
just work with them.</p>
<p>Integration with Spotlight, Quartz Composer, and more!</p>
<p>In addition to all of the firsts above, Wirecast also integrates with many<br />
powerful features and applications available only on Macintosh:</p>
<p>Use Spotlight to search within Wirecast Documents. Drop Quartz Composer<br />
compositions right into Wirecast. Export a Keynote movie and you can flip<br />
the pages in Wirecast during a broadcast. Use AppleScript to control your<br />
broadcast.</p>
<p>Powerful, Intuitive, and Fast. Like a Tiger-ready application should be.</p>
<p>"We have put the power of features such as QuickTime 7's H.264 together<br />
with the intuitive user experience of Wirecast," said Mr. Carnine, "And<br />
although we have packed Wirecast 2.0 with all these features, we have<br />
actually been able to increase performance. Thanks to Core Video and our<br />
own optimizations, the fastest broadcaster on Macintosh has just gotten<br />
faster."</p>
<p>Wirecast is built for Mac OS X, 10.3 ("Panther"), requires Quartz Extreme,<br />
and is optimized for multiple processors. Wirecast fully supports QuickTime<br />
and ISO MPEG-4 / H.264 streaming by leveraging the industry standard<br />
QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server. Some features (Core Image, etc) require<br />
Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") and a Core Image ready graphics card.</p>
