PLANO, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 22, 2008 -- ESPRE Solutions, Inc. (Other OTC:
EPRT.PK -
News), a
Dallas-based video media solutions and technology company,
announced the
alpha release of VUELIVE, at the National Association of
Broadcasters (NAB)
2008 trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).
ESPRE Solutions introduced VUELIVE, a visual communication
platform, at NAB
to strong analyst and media response. VUELIVE, powered by
ESPRE Solutions
Lightning Strike(TM) CODEC, enables both consumers and businesses
to
collaborate anytime, anywhere using only a PC, a video camera,
and a
broadband connection.
"There are a lot of compression approaches for live video,
and the ESPRE
CODEC that's built into VUELIVE showed the highest quality,
the best
detail, and the lowest latency of any software-only solution
I've seen,"
said Gerry Kaufhold, principal analyst with In-Stat
(http://www.in-stat.com).
"VUELIVE's playback module is small, and runs as a JAVA
applet inside a web
browser. VUELIVE users can instantly be up and running without
the need to
download, install, and configure a bulky media player."
Regarding the High Definition aspects of VUELIVE Mr. Kaufhold
continues,
"The ESPRE CODEC that I saw was streaming 720p HD with excellent
quality
using less than 3 Megabits/second. That is twice as good
as MPEG-4 H.264.
They have a roadmap that gets to 1080p Blu-ray disc quality
that runs in
less than 5 Mb/s. It's a breakthrough for delivering true
High Definition
over broadband."
VUELIVE provides a flexible service that makes it simple
and cost effective
for individuals and businesses to integrate Web video into
their daily
communications activities," said Steve Vonder Haar, research
director of
Interactive Media Strategies. "By packaging this technology
as a hosted
solution, VUELIVE is transforming itself into a viable option
for small and
mid-sized businesses looking to ride the growing wave of
interest in Web
multimedia communications."
Pete Ianace, CEO of ESPRE Solutions comments, "It is always
great to have
3rd party analysts say the things we have been saying all
along. It has
always been our opinion that better video quality along
with a much better
user experience would eventually be important to users.
VUELIVE will
provide an easy to use experience with video quality that
before was only
available in a large enterprise setting. To drive the point
home, anyone
with a handheld computer (UMPC), with a built in camera
and an EVDO card
from one of the big three wireless carriers will be able
to broadcast over
the web anything they can now only photograph." Further,
Mr. Ianace states
that, "In addition to the 2 hour Info Session, we hosted
over 20 private
demonstrations of VUELIVE to prospective clients. We expect
a number of
these prospects to become customers of the VueLive service
in the coming
months."
