Introducing the Helix Initiative
Real Networks,
Jul 23, 2002
Real Networks announces the release of Helix, significant because it is the first streaming media server to be able to distribute a wide variety of media formats - or as the media says, to play any media on any device, including Real Media, Windows Media, QuickTime, MPEG 4, MP3, MPEG 2, and more. I listened to the product announcement using a Windows Media Player over a 24K connection here at Memramcook, and aside from the occasional gap, the sound was fine. The release is accompanied with the release of the Helix Media Platform and community, intended to be "the first open, comprehensive platform of digital media products and applications for any format, operating system or device."
