RealNetworks today announced the preview release of the RealSystem G2 Player and Player Plus, a next generation media system designed to deliver the quality multimedia content and reliability that developers and end-users have been looking for.


RealSystem G2 is more than just another player; it’s an “open standards-based, cross-platform media system” that allows developers to create synchronized audio, video, images, slides, and text presentations.


Content providers are able to utilize the open, published APIs and a standards-based extensible architecture to develop powerful multimedia applications, client/server solutions, and custom multimedia datatypes.


The preview release of RealSystem G2 will provide both end-users and
developers with a look at the future of media on the Net. To download the new
RealPlayer G2, visit the Real Networks G2

. Once you’ve downloaded and installed the player, you’ll want
to view the information and demos of RealSystem G2 available at the RealSystem G2 Home.
