Industry First: Downloadable Software License Allows the Combination of Multiple Input Sources for Composition and Video Wall Creation

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearOne (NASDAQ: CLRO) today announced the release of its new PANORAMA^™ software license, which enables flexible video wall display and composition layout without having to purchase additional expensive video wall processor equipment.

"The PANORAMA software license includes a user friendly PC/Mac software application that empowers users to create 'What You See Is What You Get' layouts for multi-image composition, windowing and video wall layouts using VIEW Pro encoders and decoders," said Lewis Eig, Sales Director, Network Video and Audio Streaming for North America at ClearOne. "This new software license builds upon our ground breaking and unique strategy for adding affordable, new functionality and capabilities to the company's Network Media Streaming Platform, without requiring any hardware additions to ClearOne VIEW^® Pro systems."
