"Microsoft is extending its reach into the broadcasting realm with a new product called Skype TX, which it calls &amp;quot;studio grade software that delivers high quality audio and video output to seamlessly connect broadcast and media productions with people around the world.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSkype TX will be available &amp;quot;in the coming year&amp;quot;, and the product is a result of a recent acquisition of its long-time partner Cat and Mouse. This basically now means that Skype will be better integrated into a professional studio set-up.\r\n\r\nIndeed, the Cat and Mouse URL now redirects to a 'Skype in Media' section, which in turn teases more information around the new product. It's basically designed with pros in mind, with support for the HD-SDI formats (a broadcast standard), while video and audio will be free from notifications, ads and other pop-ups. Skype TX will also manage aspect ratio mismatches automatically, and it can handle multiple Skype calls simultaneously on a single interface.\r\n\r\nSo with Skype TX, Microsoft is looking to help broadcasters transform their existing Skype-enabled video feeds into higher-quality broadcasts. This is a big move for sure, though it's perhaps not all that surprising given the extent to which Skype is already used for live video in news broadcasts.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Skype Delivers a New Solution for Broadcasters"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
