TANDBERG brings biz presentations in Zune   

NEW YORK: Turning traditional business presentations inside out, Microsoft
Zune, Microsoft's new digital media player and the TANDBERG Content Server now
make it possible for those on the go to view media-rich video presentations such
as CEO briefings or training courses right along with their favorite songs or
movies. 

Working in concert with Microsoft, TANDBERG, visual communication company,
has enabled Zuneoptimized content creation through the TANDBERG Content Server,
the company's Windows-based streaming and archiving solution. Using the Content
Server, any standards-based videoconference can be instantly recorded and
optimized for Microsoft Zune download and playback without any additional
configuration, a TANDBERG statement said. 

"With the TANDBERG Content Server, Microsoft Zune not only enables
people to enjoy their favorite songs or videos, but to catch up on important
training sessions or product presentations when and where they want," said
Fredrik Halvorsen, chief executive officer for TANDBERG. 

Creating Zune-optimized video presentations with the TANDBERG Content Server
is as easy as placing a phone call. From any standards-based videoconference
system, users simply call into the Content Server to stream and/or record the
presentation, essentially turning any room with a videoconferencing system into
a video creation studio. The archived content is instantly optimized for quick
download to a Zune device.
