** TV-Based Commercials Come to the Web

Equipped with the latest streaming technology and a fresh perspective,
two Seattle firms have joined forces to reinvent storytelling for the
web. Broadcast editorial company Rocket Pictures and state-of-the-art
on-line animators Honkworm announced they will offer corporations an
easy way to leverage TV-commercials into entertaining content for the
web.

Called "webisodes," these Internet-based commercials incorporate
characters from existing advertising campaigns, which are then
animated and placed in customer-interactive, fully scripted and
produced shorts that can be posted on corporate web sites. Both
companies have extensive experience in their respective industries,
with customers that include MTV Networks, a unit of Viacom Inc.,
Macromedia, Fox Searchlight Pictures, WONGDOODY, Microsoft, EvansGroup,
and RealNetworks, Inc.

DID YOU KNOW?
+++++++++++++

** Web Developers -

With RealPlayer for Java, developers can call RealPlayer Plug-in
native methods from Java and JavaScript. RealPlayer for Java
functionality is available when the RealAudio Player 3.0 or
higher is downloaded and installed. The Java implementation of
RealAudio/RealVideo is an interface into the  LiveConnect plug-in
for Netscape and is designed to work within the Netscape Navigator
Browser. JavaScript can be used to access the RealPlayer Plug-in
methods in both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.

Visit http://www.real.com/devzone/tools/java.html for more
information and samples.


** App Developers -

The RealText broadcast feature in the new RealSystem G2 SDK lets
you stream live broadcasts of RealText over a network. You can
use it, for example, to broadcast a live stock ticker feed. To
set up a text broadcast, you create a broadcast application that
adds RealText mark-up to a text feed. You then integrate the
broadcast application with the RealText Broadcast Library through
a single system interface. That library takes care of the
overhead of integrating with the standard RealMedia Remote
Broadcast Library and a RealMedia broadcast plug-in, which
manages the connection to RealServer.

For more information, visit
http://www.real.com/devzone/sdks/index.html where you can download
the SDK or view the online abridged version.  (click onto the
"RealText Broadcast" link underneath the "Using RealMedia Features"
section in the table of contents.)
