Attendees at last week's InfoComm 2012 conference in Las Vegas were able to demo new features of Sonic Foundry's Mediasite platform, according to a prepared statement from the company. The recently released capabilities include desktop capture and publishing, approval workflows, search-based catalogs, and customization.

Mediasite's new features are designed to automate the recording and publishing of user content. After recording the user's presentation, the Web-based desktop recorder automatically uploads the content to the Mediasite EX platform.

Additional features of the upgraded platform include:

Collaboration workflows that enable users to review, edit, and approve content before its published;
Catalog creation based on search terms, enhanced mobile catalog navigation, and analytics for individual catalog owners;
Mediasite Player customization, including the ability to change video, slide and thumbnails sizes;
Personalization of the Mediasite Management Portal;
Content import and management for MP4s generated by NCast and Camtasia Relay, in addition to current H.264 and Windows Media Video import capabilities;
Web-based Mediasite Editor, automatic software updates and data collection for Mediasite Recorders.

More information about Mediasite 6.1 and the Mediasite Desktop Recorder is available at Sonic Foundry's Web site.
