MOVIE MACHINE PRO, RELEASE 1.0 NOW SHIPPING
Munich, interpersonal-computing, October 5th - The second video
solution is now available for NEXTSTEP on Intel.
THE MOVIE MACHINE PRO
This board combines four features on one board: VIDEO overlay,
TV-Tuner, framegrabber and VIDEO editing. The Movie Machine Pro
digitizes video regardless whether the source is an external
composite video signal or the internal TV-Tuner. The live video may
be sized or positioned on the computer screen. The digitized image
can be stored at any time as TIFF or printed out for further uses. No
scanner could be faster! Naturally you may put any of the input
signals or stored images back to video. Connect your local antenna or
cable to the Movie Machine Pro and you have Instant-TV on your
desktop. The fully software controllable TV-Tuner provides you with
live news, sport magazines or simply comics whenever you click on
your TV icon. The smart TV software offers ready-to-run channel
tables from over 120 countries equipped. Want some more? Just start
the automatic program search which will find your favorite TV
station. The software option MMStudio provides you with your own
Private Desktop Video Studio. You can "cut", "mix", or "zoom" any
combination of the live video sources and see the instantaneous
results on a video monitor or record them to a VCR. A realistic image
of a T-Bar controls effects like "wipe", "flip", and "move". In
addition, composing images into the live video is supported by
color-, chroma- and luma-keying. With the MMEffectEditor you may even
create your own effects for use in the MMStudio. In combination with
the CODY board you can record and play back movies from and to video.
The CODY digitizes a live video source directly onto your harddisk.
Once digitized you may use it in NEXTIME, edit or play it back to
video again.

the next dimension of video editing under NEXTSTEP. The software
VDOrecorder controls the add on hardware (Motion-JPEG board) and
allows the cross conversion from and to NEXTIME. Not included is the
hardware.

SCREEN MACHINE II vs. MOVIE MACHINE PRO
Two different boards and of course also different specs. Which board
is the right one for your application? If tuner support and NEXTIME
recording is your main problem, you should use the Movie Machine Pro.
If you have to grab high quality images and need custom video
development we recommend to use the Screen Machine II.
