- More products and lower price for Power Computing's Digital Camera
-
- Last Saturday, 28 March 1998, a particularly excited Tony Ianiri has officially
- launched in the presence of Amiga Format's Deputy Editor, Ben Vost, a series of
- new hardware and software products.
- Oliver Roberts, of F1GP Editor's fame, and author of the PowerDC100 software for
- Power's Digital camera, illustrated all the features of the camera and its
- accompanying software (which even allows for taking a series of shots within a
- user's specified interval).
- Read the updated Info page with more samples and a shot of the program's GUI.
- The camera (including the software) will only cost £99.95 and it should be available
- within this week.
- The Amiga used for the demostration was connected to a high resolution SVGA monitor
- thanks to Power's new Scan Doubler which comes in various models, including a
- flicker fixer.
- The price for the internal model is £59.95, £79.97 for the external and £99.95 for
- the flicker fixer.
- Nobody can stop you anymore from buying a nice, inexpensive, PC compatible monitor
- (call for price and models, all sizes available).
-
- We kept for last the most innovative product of the event.
- All the way from Italy, Lorenzo Caprio, director of Underground Software, was
- demonstrating PowerMovie, which is going to offer to the Amiga community the long
- awaited tool for easy Full Motion Video editing.
- We expect it to become popular for the development of Multimedia projects,
- videogames and to put together thousand frames long 3d rendered animations with
- synchronized soundtrack and soundF/X.
- Just like us, you will have to see it to believe it, and Lorenzo is doing all his
- best to make a demo available for Amiga Format's May issue (in the mean time you
- can ask Ben :-).
- If not, you will have to come at the World of Amiga, where it should be ready for sale.
- In order to keep its price down, Power Computing is going to license PowerMovie
- according to its final use.
- A cheaper licence for personal, strictly non-commercial usage, for all the Amiga
- enthusiasts around.
- A business licence, for companies planning to use this software (and the files it
- creates) for commercial products (videogames, Multimedia CD-Rom, Info-Points, etc)
- PowerMovie is the natural outcome of two years of development of a brand new game,
- The Golem, which is going to be the first of a new breed, using interactive Full
- Motion Video at this quality.
- All rendered with Lightwave, the few animated sequences made a few jaws to drop,
- and the finished game will fit on two CDs.
- The game includes different sub-games: a beat'em up, an adventure, a spaceship
- fighter, etc.
- We will have a page with some screen shots soon.
- The game needs a 6xspeed CDRom, and where it should play fine with a 68020 and
- some fast memory, we recommend a 50MHz 68030.
- Versions for graphic cards are also on the pipeline.
- Keep in touch for more up to date information.
