Number 111 - February 26, 2010

Thanks for reading our newsletter.  Our theme this month is "Call for Videos."  We have adopted a new streaming technology based on Microsoft Smoothstreaming and the Silverlight player.  The good news: Better looking and more secure online videos.  The bad news:  All videos need to be re-encoded.  Bring your videos in for re-encoding.  Videos on the current media server will continue to play through the end of this calendar year (12/31/10).  After that, they will not play.  Act now to bring in your videos for re-encoding to guarantee uninterrupted service.  Click here for more information.

Keep up with us on our web site, Twitter feed Facebook group pages and YouTube channel. We also urge you to subscribe to the ATRC news and events feeds, to our individual blogs and our podcast.
