To those on both lists, apologies for you seeing this twice. It is a
bit belated too as this refers to the Techshare conference of last
month or the month before. Still, I believe this is of some interest
to a few here, at least I hope so.

DAISY Internet Player Showcase
Tatsuo Nishizawa, Chief Engineer, Plextor/Shinano Kenshi
Karel Raven, Managing Director, Solutions Radio BV
Marianne van der Meulen, Managing Director, Solutions Radio BV
This showcase will feature two very difference DAISY Internet players.
Both of these players provide access to DAISY books on the Internet,
without the need for a computer. Practical demonstrations will be
given, and player features will be presented.
The "PTX" hardware network DAISY player by Plextor communicates"
directly with the library server for on demand DAISY book delivery
services without the need for a computer. Field trials of sample
implementations are in progress at libraries in several countries,
including the UK, with a view to launch this service next year.
Net-Plextalk PC software has been in use in Japan since 2004. It
supports book selection with pre-listening via streaming technology.
The "ORIONWebbox" by Solutions Radio connects to the Internet without
the need for a PC. It is a plug and play device. Audible prompts guide
one through choices, which open up a cross media world of information
and entertainment. ORIONWebbox is an acronym for On-line Reading and
Information ON-demand, with DAISY capability. To manage media content
Solutions Radio has developed the ORION Media Platform. Via this
platform each Webbox can be remotely controlled.
