VIDEO DESIGN SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES NEURONS 4 FOR SYNAPSE
ON QUANTEL's generationQ RANGE
MELVILLE, NY, April 07, 2003 - Video Design Software (VDS), a leading developer of broadcast automation software as well as the Liberty paint and animation product line, announces Neurons 4 for Synapse on Quantel's generationQ range of products, at NAB 2003. Synapse is VDS' proprietary plug-in product designed to support After Effects plug-ins within the Quantel user interface. VDS now offers four distinctive plug-in packages called Neuron Bundles for Synapse, each offering an array of dramatic effects.
The Neurons Bundle 4, includes 20 new plug-ins from Alien Skin's Eye Candy collection. These include a wide range of effects such as Chrome, Jiggle, Fur, Weave, Carve and Antimatter. VDS has also updated Neurons Bundle 1 with 20 new Boris plug-ins. The majority of VDS plug-ins now support full 16-bit processing for ultimate quality.
"VDS recognized the potential of generationQ very early on and were one of our first plug-in partners," said Steve Owen, Quantel's Business Manager - Post. "They have been very supportive and responsive in producing a massive range of plug-in options for our customers. As the number of systems installed is now escalating exponentially, their foresight is being substantially rewarded, and they continue to come forward with a string of new developments to keep our users ahead of the game."
"With the release of Neurons 4, we now offer generationQ customers a powerhouse of image processing tools," comments D.R. Worthington, director of Marketing and Product Development at VDS. "Many generationQ clients have been asking that we support the Eye Candy collection within Synapse and we were absolutely thrilled that our Engineering team was able to pull it off before NAB."
All new Quantel generationQ products will be shipping with trial versions of Synapse and Neurons Bundles 1-4 already installed. As Synapse and Neurons are compatible with the generationQ product line, they are very attractive additions to any Quantel customer interested in expanding their system's capabilities.
