ComVu says their new PocketPC/SmartPhone software allows you to broadcast using your smart-phone. The feed goes to ComVu’s server where other users, whether on a computer or on another smart phone, can pick it up after a 10-second delay from the company’s Web site.
ComVu’s live video broadcasting solution has been optimized to run on Intel XScale with Wireless MMX and SpeedStep technology to enable live Webcasting from the palm of your hand.
“From Bloggers wanting to transmit video onsite from an event, to families wishing to share special moments with distant members, to first-on-the-scene Citizen Reporters transmitting as a story happens, to workers in the field needing to use video to get their message across — anyone can now have their own portable TV station ready to broadcast at a moment’s notice.”
ComVu is developing two technologies to make it happen: live “one to many” transmission from a mobile device and a “do-it-yourself” video networking.
Key service features include:
- Instant notification to groups of contacts via SMS, IM or email.
- Inclusion of tags and other video information to help categorize and search for videos.
- Capture geo-position data in video stream to allow viewers to locate transmission point.
- Immediate posting of video to a blog.
ComVu’s solution integrates “one-button” Webcasting with event notification software. It includes automatic video archiving on ComVu media servers with integrated support for major blogging services and provisioning of a personal Webcast page for easy access to videos by viewers.
ComVu is currently available in beta release for any Windows Mobile 5 device, as well as the AXIA A108 PDA phone, ASUS 730W PDA and Windows PocketPC XScale devices with VEO SD camera. Additional compatible models will be coming soon.
Free trial software is available for downloading. Enhanced broadcast packages begin at $10/month or $80/year that allow for approximately 8 hours of broadcasting or playback, and 100MB of storage.
