“Mediasite has always been the platform of choice for us,” said
Gareth Lloyd, Digital Event Services, Saville Audio Visual in the
United Kingdom.  ”It is the complete end-to-end solution for
capturing, managing and delivering presentations seamlessly and
reliably in a totally flexible experience. With the imminent
release of Mediasite 6, Sonic Foundry continues to lead the way as
the explosion in mobile and net-connected devices is radically
affecting how users want and need to communicate. The ability to
quickly search and locate relevant pieces of information across
multiple presentations using any presentation metadata is
invaluable. Combining this with the ability to stream
interactive rich media content live and on-demand to tablets and
smartphones is the way of the future.”

“The College of Education at Texas Tech University is looking
forward to the release of Mediasite 6. Mediasite is already so easy
to use to present classroom lectures and special events to remote
audiences. Our distance-education students in particular will
appreciate content playback on their mobile devices like iPads and
iPhones,” said Darren Rogers from the College of Education at Texas
Tech University.

“This is a well-timed new release of Mediasite,” added Alan
Greenberg, Senior Analyst and Partner, Wainhouse Research.
“Mobility is huge right now, and Sonic Foundry is coming at it with
i’s dotted and t’s crossed in terms of breadth of devices
supported. Enhanced indexing of metadata and the new approach to
catalogs also will be especially attractive to enterprise and
educational customers alike.”

“Mediasite 6 is the culmination of years of leadership in
webcasting and lecture capture, and the result of a major effort to
deliver on the innovativeness and creativity our loyal customers
have come to expect. Scalability and reliability are paramount as
webcasting becomes mission critical across campuses and
enterprises,” said Rob Lipps, executive vice president of Sonic
Foundry. “With the Mediasite 6 platform, we further unleash
enterprise-class functionality and dependability, challenging
ourselves and our customers to take webcasting to the next
level.”
