A slimmed down Sonic Foundry unveiled Mediasite Live 3.0 this week, featuring a new portable model of the product for those doing video production on the road. The new mobile model, Mediasite LiveML, comes in a hardened briefcase full of all the necessary equipment, including LCD screen, to pull together a remote production. The original rack-mount form factor is still available too for those with a more permanent setup.
Other enhancements in version 3.0 included the ability to publish to a CD, download folders of content for offline viewing and support for playback on the Mac. Sonic Foundry has also overhauled the database used in the product, which now features an embedded version of MySQL, and the workflow, adding more distinction between user types and roles. Both form factors of version 3.0 will ship in July. The rack-mount server is $22,000 and the portable version is priced at $25,000.
