IRIDAS Releases FrameCycler Professional
Posted by: amigo

 Date: Thu Jan 30 2003
MUNICH, GERMANY--Jan 30, 2003--IRIDAS, a leading developer of digital
playback technology for the film and broadcast industry, today released
FrameCycler Professional. This latest addition to IRIDAS' family of playback
systems delivers uncompressed frame sequences dramatically faster than
conventional playback solutions. The application offers visual content
creators, animators, and post- production artists a rich set of sequence
analysis tools and total control over playback.

FrameCycler Professional owes its remarkable speed to IRIDAS� proprietary
Intelligent Look-Ahead Playback (ILAP) technology. ILAP ram-buffering
preloads upcoming frames in the background while a sequence is playing, and
even works bi-directionally. Playback options include user-specified in/out
points, scrubbing with sound, A/B channels, cropping, resampling, and
adjustable frame rates. Support for all industry standard color space modes
is included

"We built FrameCycler Professional to do much more than play back
uncompressed sequences at high-speed," said IRIDAS CEO Lin Sebastian Kayser.
"We wanted to empower users by allowing them to review and correct almost
any aspect of their work at any stage in the process. We feel FrameCycler
Professional provides the ultimate in quality control for digital artists!"

"Like a missing jigsaw puzzle piece, FrameCycler stepped into our pipeline
and filled in the spaces where our system was weak," said Micheal Hardison,
CG Supervisor at Pixel Magic. "Using FrameCycler in our work on 'Hart's
War,' 'Blade 2,' and 'Daredevil' was the perfect solution to the
continuously nagging problem of interactive playback of film resolution
frames. Our animators now have a tool that provides fast and flexible
playback for frame checking, testing render compositions, and client
approval meetings."

FrameCycler Professional is available through selected resellers and from
IRIDAS directly at a special introductory price of $199 for a single
license. Site licenses are also available. For further information about
FrameCycler Professional, other IRIDAS products, and academic pricing visit
