Sonic Foundry Unveils Mediasite Join, SaaS Videoconference Capture Solution
Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted global leader for video
creation and management
solutions, today unveiled Mediasite Join, a cloud-based
videoconference capture solution that automatically transforms video
calls and meetings into engaging, searchable on-demand video.
Users simply add Mediasite Join as a participant to their
videoconferences, and the service automatically records everything said
and shown. It then transcodes, indexes and publishes recorded
videoconferences to Mediasite alongside all their other video assets.
"Sonic Foundry has enriched an already robust on-demand solution set
with Mediasite Join, and this timely move points to the burgeoning
intersection of real-time and on demand collaboration in the video
conferencing corner of the market," said Alan D. Greenberg, senior
analyst and partner, Wainhouse (News - Alert) Research. "The 'intelligent' features
Sonic Foundry has bundled into Mediasite Join will make this cloud-based
service highly desirable for the growing set of enterprises that wish to
repurpose videoconferences - particularly those interested inviewing
videoconferences on PCs and mobile devices and those needing Mediasite's
publishing, search and navigation options."
Mediasite Join, supporting Cisco, Polycom (News - Alert), TANDBERG and Lifesize,
expands the capabilities of existing videoconference systems:
-
Interactive, Dual-Stream Content: Record multi-point H.323
conferences with synchronized H.239 content; incorporate polls,
bookmarks, sharing, related links and more
-
Intelligent Publishing: Auto-publish, organize and deliver
conference recordings with Mediasite Showcase, a secure enterprise
YouTube (News - Alert)
-
Video Search and Navigation: Auto-scan and index all audio,

"As video increasingly becomes the cornerstone of today's collaborative
workplace, it's now essential to be able to pinpoint and reference
critical information from meetings and collaborations. Mediasite Join
automates the capture of collaborative content like videoconferences,
providing a rich searchable record of any meeting it is part of," said
Gary Weis, CEO of Sonic Foundry. "The evolution of Mediasite is driven
by our vision of creating a more knowledgeable and connected world, and
we will continue to innovate technology that helps organizations realize
the value of video."
