<p>B-L-A-C-K-O-P ships CamCamX Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 Pro Video Mixer for<br />
the Podcast Generation</p>
<p>Washington, DC - Sept 9, 2007 * B-L-A-C-K-O-P Design today announced they<br />
are shipping CamCamX, a broadcast quality video mixer for Macintosh<br />
computers which utilizes 8-bit uncompressed 4:2:2 component video as its<br />
native video format. CamCamX takes a fresh approach to live video mixing on<br />
the desktop; just as with traditional video mixers any two camera sources,<br />
QuickTime movies, and still images can be used as inputs and mixed in real<br />
time. What sets CamCamX apart from other existing video mixers is that the<br />
video mix is re-routed back into the Mac as an emulated iSight (webcam)<br />
camera. And this CamCamX emulated camera is simultaneously available to all<br />
traditional webcam and video recording applications as a live camera input.<br />
With CamCamX, the operator can perform a live video mix that is published<br />
as a live video in Yahoo Messenger, Skype video phone, Adobe Flash based<br />
video webchat sites (<a href="http://www.stickcam.com" title="www.stickcam.com">www.stickcam.com</a>) - all at the same time. The video<br />
mix appears simultaneously on all webcam application inputs without any<br />
special configuration, as if the video mix were itself a built-in iSight<br />
camera. Not only can you broadcast live, but you can, at the same time,<br />
record your live video mix directly into iMovie 08 (iMovie HD, QuickTime<br />
Pro, et al) for later republishing as a DVD, youtube.com clip, or iPod<br />
compatible podcast.</p>
<p>Familiar Interface Means Simple for Anyone to Use and Operate</p>
<p>CamCamX is designed to look and work similarly to Apple's most recent iLife<br />
applications. The ergonomics of the design are styled after traditional<br />
professional video mixers - the mix is controlled by a single slider that<br />
fades between A/B camera inputs, making it possible to easily operate the<br />
mixer with just one hand on the mouse. Still images and QuickTime video<br />
clips can be selected as source using the conventional Drag and Drop<br />
paradigm familiar to all Macintosh users. While video professionals will<br />
enjoy the familiar interface, anyone capable of using iMovie will have no<br />
trouble creating compelling video mixes for webcast or podcast.</p>
<p>Democratic Webcasting for Global Breaking News</p>
<p>Leveraging the emerging market of free one-to-one and one-to-many<br />
webcasting video pipelines (Stickam, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, QuickTime<br />
Broadcaster), CamCamX makes it possible for an individual to create live,<br />
professional broadcasts of breaking news, live music, interviews, and<br />
publish them live (in real time) to a global audience of web viewers. Live<br />
video feeds can be mixed with pre-recorded content and arranged on-the-fly<br />
for adapting to changing conditions (sportscasts, political conventions<br />
etc). Increasingly, the web is being relied upon to provide the most<br />
up-to-date, accurate reporting of world events, and CamCamX makes it<br />
possible for anyone to create compelling live coverage with just a Mac<br />
notebook, internet connection and one or more webcams (including, but not<br />
limited to the Mac's built-in iSight camera).</p>
<p>Speeds Youtube/Podcast Production<br />
Despite the fact that today's video editing applications are more powerful<br />
and easier to use than their predecessors, they all follow the familiar<br />
capture-edit-render-publish workflow model. In today's fast-paced world,<br />
with an immediate waiting global audience, CamCamX makes it possible to<br />
produce professional video content much faster and more efficiently than<br />
the capture-edit-render-publish model by mixing sources directly for<br />
broadcast or directly recording mixed video to MPEG-4 320x240 clips that<br />
can be immediately uploaded to Google's youtube.com, myspace or published<br />
as a podcast file. No editing, rendering or compressing is required - the<br />
clip is available for publishing both while the video mix is underway AND<br />
immediately after completion. Because the mixer works with both live camera<br />
inputs and pre-recorded QuickTime clips, professional productions with<br />
titles, custom wipes, bumpers, commercial insertions and theme music are<br />
produced as easily as ad-hoc video mixes.</p>
<p>Application and Hardware Compatibility</p>
<p>Since CamCamX publishes it's video mix as a QuickTime compatible camera<br />
input, it achieves unparalleled compatibility with existing video<br />
applications that Mac customers already use and enjoy, including iMovie for<br />
recording video mixes, QuickTime Pro for converting them to different<br />
formats, Final Cut, and all streaming video and video chat services that<br />
work with Apple's built-in and external iSight (webcam) cameras. CamCamX<br />
also works with a wide variety of creative video software, including all<br />
the popular VJ applications. Literally, any live camera application<br />
developed for the Apple Mac OS X system can immediately take advantage of<br />
the new video mixing services provided by CamCamX. On the hardware side,<br />
CamCamX works with most live camera hardware input devices available for<br />
the Macintosh. This includes Apple's own built-in USB and external FireWire<br />
iSight cameras, 3rd party USB Class Video webcams such as the Logitech<br />
QuickCam Ultravision and many other webcams with Macintosh drivers,<br />
FireWire based MiniDV camcorders and professional video input devices such<br />
as those made by BlackMagic and AJA.</p>
<p>Price/Performance Breakthrough for Professional Desktop Video Mixing</p>
<p>While other professional video mixing applications for the Macintosh have<br />
been available for hundreds (or thousands) of dollars, at just $29 USD,<br />
CamCamX sets a new price/performance mark by combining the 8-bit<br />
uncompressed 4:2:2 format of the video professional with the ease of use<br />
and iSight compatible camera output which the typical non-professional<br />
requires for webcasting.</p>
