Clients can broadcast a multimedia package, which includes video, audio, and graphics, or more streamlined broadcasts that include still graphics with audio. Up to 1,000 users can simultaneously log on to E.N.E.N.'s web server to access the live or taped broadcasts. Once the training broadcast is created, E.N.E.N. or an ISP could load it on to their server for developers to view. Clients can prepare broadcasts themselves, or E.N.E.N. can help with the presentation. To view a broadcast, a user logs on using a user name and a password.
Managers can view the user statistics to see who attended the presentation and for how long.
Live and taped presentations are archived on E.N.E.N.'s web site so developers can view them again if necessary. The first was a one-hour class introducing engineers to the basics of the VHDL hardware description language. It was designed to give engineers more information about VHDL and Cypress's VHDL products. The broadcast, which included a photo of the presenter and the presenter's voice, had a few technical difficulties. Some of the attendees' audio was dropped, but Linda Stone, Cypress's marketing manager, says the response was still positive.
