Company History
The company's original product, the Telepresenter M2, first shipped in late 2001. It enabled interactive collaboration over multicast networks using MPEG-2 streaming. In April of 2003 support for XGA graphics capture was added to the product. The Telepresenter G2, which enabled XGA resolution graphics streaming using MPEG-4 encoding was announced in February of 2004. The Telepresenter M3, which added picture-in-picture capabilities to the product line, launched in January of 2006. In subsequent years a continuing series of products focused on presentation capture and lecture capture and streaming was produced by the company.
The Telepresenter M3-Series 2 was named a "Top 100 Product" by District Administration Magazine in February, 2008.
