sofTV.net Releases sofTV.Author and sofTV.Playlist
Suite of tools that revolutionize web page design including streaming media
Fall Internet World Ì99 - New York, New York, October 6, 1999 -sofTV.net, industry supplier of Internet software products that allow web site operators and broadcasters to easily create and manage dynamic, streaming video enabled web sites, today released sofTV.Author and sofTV.Playlist which are part of the sofTV.net suite of products.
sofTV.Author is a template-based design tool for creating web pages that include text, graphics and streaming video or audio. sofTV.Author web pages automatically handle Events in the video stream, allowing web page items to reflect the content of the video stream. All web page items can be updated automatically whenever their source changes. For example news, sports scores, and stock prices can be updated while the user is watching the video.
sofTV.Author is a powerful tool in the web developer's arsenal. Just as a web developer uses a graphics package to create web page graphics, and an HTML editor to layout the web page text and graphics, web developers can use sofTV.Author in web pages that require one or more of:
- Streaming video, either live, or pre-recorded.
- Events in the streaming video.
- Simple and fast page layout and design.
- Embedded web pages that are automatically updated.
- Web pages that have sections which are constantly updated by different individuals or departments - even different regions of the country.
- Scheduling of web page content
sofTV.Playlist allows you to build Playlists of video or audio clips for use with the Microsoft Media Player. Playlist also allows you to create events and embed them within a Microsoft Video or Audio streaming ASF file.No other software provides the the following features:
sofTV.Playlist Features
- Build a Microsoft ASX Playlist of media files.
- Easy and intuitive graphical user interface.

The combined feature set of sofTV.Author and sofTV.Playlist packs the biggest punch the web authoring tool market has ever seen. From simple template design, to inserting event triggers in a streaming media file to being able to create a web page that is simultaneously compatible with Netscape and Internet Explorer, gives sofTV.Author and sofTV.Playlist the lead in the web authoring tool market by jumping above and beyond what is already on the market,Ó says Dale Gantous, InGenius Multimedia CEO.
