Date: Thu Apr 14 2005
Sophia Antipolis, France - April 14, 2005 - REALVIZ�, a leader in image
processing software development, has chosen NAB 2005 as the setting for the
introduction of SMART ('Scalable Matching Architecture for Tracking'), a
powerful new automatic tracking engine, which is the result of extensive R&D
efforts at the Company's headquarters in the South of France. MatchMover�
Pro will be the first of the REALVIZ products powered by SMART, with a
release slated for June 2005 on Macintosh�, Windows� & Linux. The REALVIZ
team will be demonstrating SMART, MatchMover Pro, MatchMover Pro MoCap and
StoryViz� at booth #SL4065 throughout NAB, at the Las Vegas Convention
Center, Las Vegas, NV, 18.-21. April 2005.
"SMART is the distillation of many years of technological research and
long-standing experience of the effects industry," said Luc Robert, REALVIZ
CTO. "For some years now, our 3D tracking technology has been singled out by
leading software vendors and studios as the best available, and integrated
within their high-end FX products, such as Autodesk's Discreet� Inferno�.
SMART is the continuation of this tradition of excellence, with a new
generation of algorithms."
"Combining this new-generation tracking technology with an unbeatable range
of features as always, the forthcoming version of MatchMover Pro powered by
SMART, due before this summer, will be the beginning of radical changes in
the world of tracking," continues Robert. "More than ever, we welcome the
challenge of even the most demanding users, the ones with THE shot that
cannot be solved, and are ready to prove, that unlike other similar
applications, which often hit a brick wall in these kinds of situations,
REALVIZ MatchMover Pro will always find its way to the solution. I think our
existing users, and anybody who hasn't taken a look at MatchMover Pro for a
while, as well as any newcomers to tracking, will be pleasantly surprised at
what we are bringing to the market this year."
REALVIZ MatchMover technology has been used to create stunning visual
effects in many recent major movies, including: 'The Life Aquatic', 'Alien
vs. Predator', 'King Arthur', 'The Life and Death of Peter Sellers', 'Troy',
'The Last Samurai', 'Hellboy' & 2005 Academy Award Nominee, 'A Very Long
Engagement' from director Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
