move on Jörg's part -

I truly believe this new unit will be a huge success,
not only with those customers already invested in the Casablanca product line but
with other new or returning customers looking for a solution that so fully and easily
addresses the multitude of import formats and the desire to be able to export to
so many different formats and devices so simply.
Once you launch the S-
It is these three archives that MS DE has provided us with awesome tools! You can
import into the Video Archives video footage from many contemporary formats (yes,
1080, 720, and even AVCHD).
You can import via a connected USB drive (Jörg was importing
programs from a 4GB Verbatim portable drive) -
While in the Video Archives, you can

Once you
have imported a video file into the Archives you can pull it up into the Bogart SE
(smart Edit) and mix and match file formats in the same project! In today's world
of multiple media I believe this is a phenomenal tool... You can work with virtually
any contemporary media your customers/colleagues provide you.
Same for Audio Archives
(virtually any contemporary audio file format is compatible) and Photo Archives where
you can import and pull into your Bogart SE projects still images whether they are
JPEG, GIF, TIF, etc.
Once your project is complete -
And here is the real 'icing on the cake'. You could choose to
export the file to most any contemporary file format -
You
simply select the format you wish to export to, whether a MOV, WMV, YouTube! file
or to a specific device like the Motorola Razor (several specific models listed)
or Apple iTouch. After your selection, the S-
SOFTWARE
MS DE has been working to achieve high capability for existing Casablanca
software titles on the new S-
The
good news for us all is that they have commitments from all the currently active
software developers to provide compatible versions of the available software. For
most of these developers they already have a Linux compatible version available and
it is a relatively simple matter of revising the software for application into Bogart
SE. It is far easier for them to modify/create software for the new Linux version
of Smart Edit than to redevelop software for the VXWorks backbone in our previous
products.
Two products that will not be initially compatible are QuadCam and Motion Perfect.
However, QuadCam has been the top priority for software compatibility and is already
being addressed. QC used the C-
As you may
know, the company that provided us with Motion Perfect is no longer in business.
Jörg has met with a new company that has an awesome motion manipulation software
which is likely the new source for our customers with slow/fast motion needs. This
new product will even outshine the previous version with a flash adjustment mode
to address the previously encountered side effects when enabled with a high contrast
flash/light.
Though the initial release of a brand new system
with new software may involve working through some early adopter issues -
For
those customers who own a Solitaire, Solitaire Plus, Renommee, Renommee Plus we are
expecting an Ultra Card upgrade (includes Bogart SE software) -
This Ultra Card upgrade requires
you to send your unit to the distributor for upgrade where your existing Casablanca
will be disassembled and the new card and the DVI connection installed.
The other possible future option is that the Bogart SE software only may be made
available for these same units, providing them with some of the new features but
not with the ability to access their analogue ports and without the ability to monitor
High resolution signals.
This Bogart SE software upgrade will likely be made available
first to the Liberty and Liberty Plus customers as they have no access to the Ultra
Card upgrade.
