YAP: Yet Another Platform!
Today, we officially released our Universal Application verision of the Marratech client.
This means that we now support Windows, Linux, Mac OS X PPC and Mac OS X Intel. Even though the installer file is the same for both Power PC and Intel, it is too very different beasts when dealing with Codecs and such, as a lot of very low level code can be found in there.
So, Intel Mac users, welcome to our user community!

IP Multicast - nice little article
I found a nice article about IP Multicast on Cringely's site. http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060323.html
It is a good reminder of why Marratech has implemented cluster Nodes that can connect Multicast "islands" when Multicast is not turned on. So, we can give the best of both worlds to our customers.

Marratech press release: TOP QUALITY VIDEO COMES TO WEB CONFERENCING
Anyone using a computer for web conferencing can now enjoy crystal clear video, thanks to the launch of the first real time collaboration and video conferencing software to feature multi-platform H.264 video.H.264 gives high quality video at lower bit rates than other systems still relying on earlier standards. The new software release from Marratech works across Mac, Windows and Linux platforms, and allows users to switch to full screen video, opening web-based conferencing to image critical applications such as remote medical diagnosis.
The new release is the result of a development programme with Alcatel Alenia Space to enable Open Broadband Telemedicine, which will bring top medical specialists and hospital departments to a doctor's laptop over the Internet - anywhere in the world.
Said CEO Lars Persson: "Real time collaboration using regular laptops and computers is the fastest growing media communications sector and this latest release confirms our leading position, making Marratech the only Internet solution to meet the all the needs of quality critical applications."
Marratech has also responded to requests from education customers by introducing a powerful moderator function enabling meeting moderators to control the degree of interaction allowed to other meeting participants.
By combining cross platform, high quality H.264 video in a secure, Internet based solution which is compatible with traditional video conferencing equipment, Marratech has further secured it's position at the forefront of web collaboration solution providers.
