"Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline"

"Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline" was delighted to be the first live national broadcast to use the new Comrex ACCESS Codec as we launched our 11th Season, broadcasting from the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Sunday, January 8th, 2006. The operation was the easiest and smoothest ever and while we used a Comrex BlueBox as a stand-by dial-up unit, we never had to switch to that -- even once -- during our live 3-hour broadcast! Into Tomorrow's Technical Director Chris Graveline was most impressed with the ease of use and simple interface with a standard web browser. He said " being able to just click 'connect' once could not have been easier " and we loved the Audio Metering display on several laptops that also looked very cool in our Broadcast Booth! One of our staff back in Miami was even able to see exactly what we were watching on the User Interface in Vegas.

The Comrex ACCESS unit worked perfectly on the same broadband line that we were using to stream our live audio on the Internet, check Email, visit our guest's web sites and view our web cameras throughout the show ... with plenty of bandwidth left over.

With our ISDN costs climbing and soon not even being able to have the use of ISDN any longer as many phone companies are abandoning that much older technology ... THIS is definitely the way that the Advanced Radio Network will deliver our programs from now on!

We can't wait to try the portable unit as soon as it's available and we will continue to ACCESS the future ... all the way "Into Tomorrow".

Stay tuned ... "Into Tomorrow"!
