> Munich: April 4, 2007 . IRIDAS, who introduced the first commercial
> application for uncompressed playback on this date in 2001, has  
> announced
> the release of FrameCycler Professional 2007 and FrameCycler  
> Digital Daily
> System 2007. Both applications are available on the Mac, Windows,  
> and Linux
> platforms. The new versions offer a more intuitive interface and  
> numerous
> functionality enhancements. In addition, IRIDAS' DualStream  
> stereoscopic
> technology is now available for all FrameCycler applications.
>
> FrameCycler Professional 2007 provides animators, compositors, and  
> content
> creators with powerful tools for desktop review and analysis of  
> their work.
> Playlists can be built and edited right on the timeline, imported from
> SpeedGrade or earlier versions of FrameCycler, or launched from the  
> command
> line. LUTs and .Looks can be loaded and applied to the timeline,  
> individual
> clips, or a combination of both.
>
> "FrameCycler 2007 is a big step forward," said Nick Cannon, Head of
> Technology at the Moving Picture Company in London. "FrameCycler is  
> easy to
> integrate with our in-house systems so our artists just have to hit  
> play and
> they see the right media with the right color lookups with an even  
> larger
> variety of features to help them review their material."
>
> With FrameCycler Digital Daily System 2007, facilities have access to
> unlimited direct-from-disk playback at HD, 2K, and higher  
> resolutions. Along
> with interface enhancements, FrameCycler DDS 2007 introduces EDL  
> conform and
> SDI-out for live broadcast-quality playback without requiring  
> rendering.
> "It's a highly functional and flexible application," said Nick  
> Canon, "and
> is the real workhorse of the digital dailies review process at MPC."
>
> "We first used FrameCycler on Windows during our days at ESC," said  
> John
> Jack, Executive Producer and co-owner of Evil Eye Pictures in San  
> Francisco,
> "so we're very familiar with how it has evolved and improved over  
> the years.
> Now that our studio runs almost entirely on OS X, we needed a top- 
> notch,
> cross-platform playback solution. After checking out everything  
> available,
> we found there really is nothing else out there that matches the  
> price,
> performance, and features of FrameCycler 2007."
>
> Both FrameCycler Professional 2007 and FrameCycler DDS 2007 include
> ReviewLink for secure, synchronized remote collaboration sessions  
> over the
> internet. IRIDAS' DualStream stereoscopic playback technology,  
> which has
> been used in venue entertainment, stage productions, and scientific  
> research
> since 2002, is now available as an optional module for both  
> applications.
>
> The FrameCycler 2007 applications will ship at the end of the  
> month. See
> them now at ARRI (booth C10017) at NAB, April 16 - 19, 2007 in the
