X2O unveiling Xpresenter ICE at InfoComm 2011

June 9, 2011

X2O Media, a full-service provider of software, network management, and content services for professional digital signage and enterprise communications applications, today announced that the company will debut its Xpresenter Integrated Conference Experience (ICE) at InfoComm 2011, from June 15-17 in Orlando, Fla.

Xpresenter ICE is a networked system that enables management of presentation content, including interactive meeting room signs; integration with Microsoft Exchange and other scheduling systems; broadcast-style output with a number of control options; remote participation via desktops and mobile devices; and presentation archiving.

Xpresenter ICE provides a single system that manages all content for effective meetings and conferencing. By integrating PowerPoint, video, whiteboard and other content from a number of local and remote sources and participants, Xpresenter ICE enables more effective meetings while greatly simplifying the management of meeting resources.

Users can reserve conference rooms from anywhere using Microsoft Outlook, or interactively reserve rooms and view meeting schedules directly on meeting room signs. ICE is driven by X2O's Xpresenter Live presentation system, which adds broadcast-quality effects and transitions, 3-D logos and animations, real-time data and live camera feeds to PowerPoint presentations.

With Xpresenter Live, users can easily manage the entire presentation experience from a single platform. Users simply plug their laptop into Xpresenter Live instead of the projector, and their presentation is ready to come to life. Presentations can be controlled from a simple touch-screen interface, or the system can be integrated with standard conference room control systems from third parties.

In addition to PowerPoint presentations, Xpresenter Live can display live camera inputs, interactive whiteboard content, and other real-time user input. This can include content created on the fly using the Xpresenter Sketch Pad application running on a tablet such as an Apple iPad, BlackBerry PlayBook or Motorola Xoom. Xpresenter Live combines all inputs using X2O's real-time video and graphics rendering technology, allowing the presenter to seamlessly switch between or combine all inputs into a single TV-style output display.

Xpresenter ICE provides several options for allowing remote users to view presentations in real time, or as archived video files stored on the X2O Portal. Presentations can be streamed to users' desktops for viewing with the X2O Desktop Player, or as real-time presentation channels to smartphones or tablets using the X2O Mobile Player. ICE is unique in that remote desktop webcam feeds can be incorporated into the conference room presentation, allowing remote attendees to actively participate. Presentations can be saved as HD-quality video clips and automatically transferred to the X2O Portal to be archived and viewed from users' desktops.
