Distribute Tools: Origin Digital

Converts digital media to multiple formats and bit rates in a single action. Price: Varies upon installation

Origin Digital's Odaptor service offers a price-competitive, turnkey approach to production for the Web. Even if you have a modest web-production budget, Odaptor will allow you to manage, convert, and deliver digital content quickly and in a variety of target formats, according to the company. Now, producers get more benefits when they integrate Microsoft Silverlight with Odaptor to further customize the viewer experience. First, a website must run Microsoft SharePoint Server, which works along with Odaptor's workflow-management tools to support video apps. Producers can then use Silverlight, Microsoft's cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in, to deliver next-gen web video experiences (see p. 34 for more on Silverlight).
