Form and Function was brought in at a fairly early stage to help define the product and simplify the user experience for a new and still small startup in Grass Valley, California.
The work consisted of conception, design and art production of touchscreen interface for the Telestream ClipMail Pro and Express.
The ClipMail line can be thought of as a store-and-forward "videofax" system.
This internet device allows ordinary office personnel to rapidly offload and transfer large digital video streams and/or convert
one standard (US NTSC) to another (EU PAL) in realtime.

What more can be said except the product is shipping today, a decade later, essentially unchanged.
A fresh coat of pixels and some serious scientific feedback from user studies would be a lovely exercize, but in an age of brittle software and fickle tastes Form and Function is proud of the work done here and the value Telestream accrued by our efforts.
