A new real-time video production software product for Mac and PC users was added to
Telestream's product lineup last summer when the company acquired Vara Software Ltd. Wirecast is a desktop application that turns any Mac or PC into a video studio, allowing users to quickly and easily capture live events, create and distribute content for real-time web delivery.
Wirecast is useful for a broad range of businesses, including entertainment companies and corporate communications departments. Users can stream multiple live video cameras, while dynamically mixing in other media. Features include chroma key, built-in titles and a layering system. Live Earth, one of the world's largest webcasts, was powered by Wirecast, providing on-demand footage to more than 10 million simultaneous viewers on MSN.com.
