VideoBeam Offer
Video Beam is a proprietary software-only video compression system. It allows full motion playback at lower data rates and on lower spec machines than any other system currently available. Video Beam supports 8-bit and 16-bit playback. In the case of 8-bit playback, optimal palettes can be automatically selected for each scene within a given movie. This utilizes Beam Software's in-house colour reduction methods that are better than competing systems.
Beam International offers you the use of the VideoBeam run-time code and utilities free of single-time usage charges and royalties
for a single entertainment CD-ROM title developed or published by your organization.
By using our technology you could be saving your company as much as $10,000USD.
You would need to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement in relation to the confidentiality of VideoBeam, and include a brief VideoBeam
'splash video' as part of the title credits.
