OpenVBX

The open-source nature of OpenVBX can be a little confusing. Like WordPress, OpenVBX is a downloadable software package that you upload to your own server and are free to tweak as much as you’d like. However, unlike WordPress, which offers a hosted solution at WordPress.com, Twilio isn’t offering a hosted service yet (though it’s quite obvious that they’re working on launching one in the future). For the time being you’ll have to host it yourself, though Lawson notes that Dreamhost currently has a 1-click install setup, which should make things pretty simple.
Of course, OpenVBX relies heavily on Twilio’s service, tapping into Twilio SMS and telephony APIs. When you use OpenVBX you’re charged Twilio’s normal rates, which run $1 per phone line per month ($2 for a toll-free number) with usage charges of 3 cents per minute (or SMS). Lawson says that it is technically feasible for someone to use OpenVBX with a backend other than Twilio, but that it would take quite a bit of configuration.
Twilio has always been focused on catering to developers, and OpenVBX isn’t any different. While the product will obviously appeal to businesses, Twilio is encouraging developers to take the technology and make it their own by integrating tweaks and plugins. For example, an enterprising developer could tweak OpenVBX so that it’s perfect for restaurants, and then resell it as their own service. Twilio still gets paid through their per-minute and phone line charges, and the developer can charge a hefty premium on top of it.

Free BSD Unix

Dynebolic Linux

Dynebolic Linux is shaped on the needs of media activists, artists and creatives as a practical tool for multimedia production: you can manipulate and broadcast both sound and video with tools to record, edit, encode and stream, having automatically recognized most device and peripherals: audio, video, TV, network cards, firewire, usb and more. You can employ this operating system without the need to install anything, and if you want to run it from harddisk you just need to copy a directory. It is optimized to run on slower computers, turning them into full media stations: the minimum you need is a pentium1 or k5 PC 64Mb RAM and IDE CD-ROM, or a modded XBOX game console - and if you have more than one, you can easily do clusters.

Debian Linux

Debian Linux is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian will run on almost all personal computers, including most older models. Each new release of Debian generally supports a larger number of computer architectures. Almost all common hardware is supported.

Insane Visions has announced the major release of AdaptCMS 2.0, available now for download!

Although, unfortunately, many delays the biggest version since the very first version of AdaptCMS features a whole new look, completely re-written and brand new features. The template system was one of the major changes, introducing smarty to power the system instead of the in-house setup. This enables template caching, more tagging and an overall better experience.

Another major overhaul over 1.5 was the media, formerly known as "Gallery", feature. The admin side of things it looks completely different but is organized in a much user friendly way, but has even more functionality than before. In the frontend media features like videos is possible as well as on the fly slideshows.

There's really too much new and improved things to mention here, but among a few of the big ones is a very nifty File Release system, letting you download the latest AdaptCMS files right from your administrative panel. Not only that, but you can select from multiple releases and see notes on a file being updated - important for security or bugs. Social is also a major new feature in AdaptCMS featuring things like messages, a friends list, a personal blog, twitter-like status and more.

And the iBookstore comes to iTunes on your Mac or PC for an unabridged browsing and shopping experience. With iTunes, even getting your entertainment is entertaining.

Say your coworker just recommended a new song. You download it on your computer at work, but on the ride home, you’re wishing you had that song on your iPod touch, too. Regardless of where you click or tap Buy, iTunes can automatically download your new songs, apps, and books to all your other devices over Wi-Fi or 3G. It even works with the new iBookstore on your Mac or PC. So you can browse and purchase books on the big screen and start reading them right away on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

When you buy a song, TV show, app, or book, iTunes lets you access your purchase history so you can download what you want, from any device you want.

Panasonic Partners With indoorDIRECT To Provide In-Store Television Solution To Quick-Service Restaurants

Panasonic Professional LCD displays Running indoorDIRECT's Restaurant Entertainment Network Provides QSRs with a reliable, quality television system

Panasonic Solutions Company, provider of collaboration, information-sharing and decision-support solutions for government and commercial enterprises, recently announced it has partnered with indoorDIRECT to create a reliable, quality in-store television system for quick-service restaurants (QSRs). The solution combines two Panasonic 42" LF20 professional LCD displays and one 32" LRU20 with indoorDIRECT's Restaurant Entertainment Network, which features a magazine-style show with short bites of sports, music, entertainment and lifestyle segments from more than 100 content providers including the NFL Network, VH1 and G4. The system is currently located in over one thousand quick –service restaurants nationwide including Taco Bell, Wendy's, Carl's Jr., Denny's, Hardee's, KFC, and Arby's with 13 million ad exposures per month, making it the largest quick-service restaurant television network in the United States.

All new and replacement installations will include Panasonic professional LCD displays, with two in the main dining area with audio capabilities as well as one screen adjacent to the point of sale area. indoorDIRECT chose to partner with Panasonic for its world class professional LCD displays, design and installation services and ongoing real-time monitoring and support. The comprehensive solution gives indoorDIRECT a single partner committed to quality products, total accountability and excellent service. The custom-designed indoorDIRECT solution for QSRs promises to drive incremental revenues—both in higher ticket sales within QSRs and increased advertising revenues.

"The combination of our reliable, high-quality professional LCD displays with this services package will set the in-store television standard for the QSR industry," said Rick Albert, VP Sales, Professional Display Solutions, Panasonic Solutions Company. "The potential for growth for in-store television is significant. However, this growth clearly rests on the reliability of the technology. A blank screen will not impress a customer nor does it drive advertising revenue. This Panasonic-led solution will deliver the highest availability and uptime to indoorDIRECT's thousands of quick-service restaurants."

Michael Winton, president and co-founder of indoorDIRECT, stated "working with Panasonic for both screens and installations provides us with a partner with vast installation experience and insures that we are able to install, maintain and service our rapidly expanding national Network."

Over the next twelve months, The Restaurant Entertainment Network, featuring Panasonic professional LCD displays, will be installed in an additional 1,500 quick-service restaurants, located in the top 20 DMAs. This will bring indoorDIRECT's number of locations to more than 2,500 nationwide and over 30 million monthly ad exposures.

Axis Introduces Flexible, Cost-Effective Analog To IP Migration Solution With Five New Video Encoders

Four to 16-channel AXIS M70 and P72 Series Video Encoders Offer up to 15 and 30 frames per second H.264 video in D1 resolution across all channels with options for audio and local storage

Axis Communications, the global leader in the network video market, today introduces AXIS M70 and AXIS P72 Video Encoder Series with the market's most comprehensive set of network video surveillance capabilities. These new products, which are being showcased at the NRF-LP tradeshow in Dallas, booth #1425, enable cost-effective migration from analog CCTV to a powerful IP-based video surveillance system.

The new Axis encoders offer one of the most cost-efficient solutions on the market, with $125 per channel for H.264 video encoding at 15 fps, and $155-$175 per channel for H.264 video and audio at full frame rate (30 fps), both in full D1 resolution (720x480). This makes AXIS M70 and AXIS P72 Series ideal for small and medium sized locations, such as retail outlets, gas stations, convenience stores and small offices.

The expansion of Axis' existing video encoder portfolio with five new products from the AXIS M70 and AXIS P72 Series provides a superior alternative to competitive offerings thanks to a combination of price, flexibility and extensive functionality. The encoders, which range from four- to 16-channel models, include: AXIS M7014 Video Encoder ($499) – four-channel video encoder;AXIS M7010 Video Encoder ($1,999) – 16-channel rack-mountable video encoder;AXIS P7214 Video Encoder ($699) – four-channel video encoder with audio;AXIS P7224 Video Encoder Blade ($699) – four-channel video encoder blade with audio;AXIS P7210 Video Encoder ($2,499) – 16-channel rack-mountable video encoder with audio.

All video encoders in AXIS M70 and AXIS P72 Series provide dual H.264 and Motion JPEG streams for flexibility, support for Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af) that allows one network cable to deliver both power and video, and pan, tilt and zoom support to enable control of analog PTZ cameras. Furthermore, the encoders all have a microSDHC (high capacity) memory card slot for local storage, except for the blade-based AXIS P7224 model.

AXIS M70 Series provides dependable, efficient and affordable integration of existing analog installations in order to gain the benefits of network video technology at 15 fps. AXIS P72 Series offers versatile and advanced network capabilities with great video performance at full frame rate (30 fps) and excellent audio quality.

"There are still millions of analog CCTV cameras that, with the help of encoders, can benefit from all the advantages of IP technology, such as better scalability, higher data security and usage of common off-the-shelf computing and storage equipment," said Fredrik Nilsson, general manager, Axis Communications Inc. "With today's release of AXIS M70 and P72 Series, we now offer a range of 16 different video encoders to help guide surveillance end-users into the digital age while protecting their existing analog investment. Encoders offer a great migration strategy, especially in segments like retail where there is a longstanding history of using analog surveillance."

These products are supported by AXIS Camera Station video management software as well as the industry's largest base of application software through Axis' Application Development Partner program. They also support the ONVIF specification for interoperability of network video products and AXIS Video Hosting System (AVHS) with One-Click Camera Connection. The video encoders will be available in September 2011 through Axis' distribution channels at the following MSRPs: AXIS M7014 for $499; AXIS M7010 for $1,999; AXIS P7214 for $699; AXIS P7224 for $699; and AXIS P7210 for $2,499.
