SightSpeed 5.0 also introduces a new extension of its personal video services with SightSpeedTV, a place shifting television viewing feature that gives users with a TV capture card the ability to watch their TV anywhere in the world on their PC or Mac for personal use. SightSpeedTV requires no additional hardware and comes complete with an intuitive "remote control" interface, enabling true channel surfing. SightSpeedTV will be introduced as a beta feature that is available for free to all SightSpeed users. While fleshing out its overall suite of best in class personal video services, SightSpeed 5.0 stays true to the company's central mission of providing the world's best free Internet video communications services. SightSpeed adds a new enhanced video codec to 5.0 and, once again, raises the bar for video calling and makes the best even better. Users of SightSpeed 5.0 will immediately see significantly enhanced video clarity across all network conditions, while continuing to experience full 30 frames per second video, no latency, and perfect synch of video and voice unmatched by any other service. Recognizing the importance of its fast-growing Mac user base, SightSpeed 5.0 places the Mac user experience at true parity with the PC experience.
