<p>Wirecast 3 - Webcast with gorgeous HDV; broadcast your presenter's desktop</p>
<p>London, England - October 17, 2006 - Vara Software today shipped<br />
version 3 of Wirecast, a TV Studio for your Mac or PC.</p>
<p>- Beautiful HDV -</p>
<p>In yet another first for streaming applications on any platform,<br />
Wirecast now works seamlessly works with HDV cameras.</p>
<p>"If you sport a new widescreen HDV camera and want to webcast with<br />
it, Wirecast is the only solution available to you on any platform,"<br />
says Simon Clarke, President of Technology at Vara. "The quality an<br />
HDV camera delivers to Wirecast at 720p or 1080i is simply amazing.<br />
Wirecast passes that high definition quality directly to your chosen<br />
encoding format, resulting in crisper, cleaner webcasts."</p>
<p>- Broadcast a Mac or PC desktop with Desktop Presenter -</p>
<p>A major new feature of Wirecast is Desktop Presenter - a small<br />
application for either Mac or Windows that you can put on any locally<br />
networked PC. Desktop Presenter streams the computer's desktop to<br />
Wirecast. Wirecast incorporates that desktop into the final broadcast.</p>
<p>"Although you can broadcast anything from your desktop, Desktop<br />
Presenter was conceived to be used with Keynote or PowerPoint," says<br />
Paul Carnine, President of Products at Vara Software. "A speaker<br />
shows up, installs this small utility, and Wirecast can then<br />
broadcast their presentation integrated with a video of them<br />
delivering it. Perfect for a Lecture Hall or Boardroom."</p>
<p>Configuration? None, if your machines have Bonjour (All Macs do by<br />
default and it's easy download for a Windows machine). With Bonjour,<br />
your presenter's computer is automatically detected as soon as they<br />
launch Desktop Presenter. Otherwise, simply enter the URL to the<br />
Desktop Presenter machine, and you are ready to broadcast a desktop.<br />
Desktop Presenter works over any local network, be it Wireless or<br />
Ethernet.</p>
<p>- Embedded Darwin Streaming Server -</p>
<p>By popular demand, Darwin Streaming Server has been built right into<br />
Wirecast. This is the same industry standard codebase that powers<br />
QuickTime Stream Server.</p>
<p>This means your viewers can directly connect to the machine running<br />
Wirecast to watch your webcast. When you want to scale the webcast<br />
up, you can still broadcast to a remote QuickTime Streaming Server.</p>
<p>- Even better Chroma Key (Green / Blue Screen) -</p>
<p>Wirecast has always had very high quality chroma key capability with<br />
very low configuration requirements. This translates to excellent<br />
keys without a lot of fuss.</p>
<p>Wirecast 3 builds on this by adding a dynamic spill suppression<br />
algorithm which automatically increases the quality of your output.<br />
In addition, this new algorithm has allowed us to decrease<br />
computation required leaving more time available for encoding.</p>
<p>- Stream Hinting for QuickTime, OLE Scripting for Windows, and many<br />
more features -</p>
<p>Also by request, Wirecast can now automatically hint QuickTime movies<br />
created by Wirecast. This allows you to upload your broadcasts to a<br />
QuickTime Streaming Server for streaming "Video On Demand" playback<br />
without any further time-consuming processing.</p>
<p>Wirecast for Windows now offers OLE based scripting, with examples in<br />
Visual Basic, Perl, and C#. You can now script Wirecast to do just<br />
about anything on Windows. Wirecast for Mac OS X already offers this<br />
functionality through AppleScript.</p>
<p>- Pricing and Availability -</p>
<p>Wirecast 3 is priced at $449.99 and is available immediately at<br />
<a href="http://www.varasoftware.com" title="www.varasoftware.com">www.varasoftware.com</a>. To use an HDV Camera in HDV mode, an additional<br />
$99.99 purchase is required. Existing owners of Wirecast 2 can<br />
upgrade to Wirecast 3 for only $179.99.</p>
<p>- About Wirecast -</p>
<p>Wirecast turns your Mac or PC into a Webcasting studio.</p>
<p>Install Wirecast, plug in your HDV, DV or Webcam cameras, and you<br />
have a working TV studio. Perform complex transitions, overlay Titles<br />
(like a TV News program), bring in different media (Movies, Images,<br />
Music), all to create a TV-like experience for your viewers.</p>
<p>Wirecast is the only software on Mac OS X that can work with multiple<br />
DV cameras for live recording. Wirecast is the only software on Mac<br />
or Windows that can work with HDV for live streaming. Wirecast is the<br />
only solution on any platform that offers real time Chroma Keying as<br />
part of a streaming solution.</p>
<p>Optimized for Intel processors, Wirecast is currently the fastest way<br />
to encode your live broadcasts on Mac OS X.</p>
<p>Wirecast is available for Mac OS X 10.3.9 and later, Windows XP and<br />
Windows 2000.</p>
