VIDEO DESIGN SOFTWARE ANNOUNCES NEURONS V FOR SYNAPSE
ON QUANTEL's generationQ RANGE
MELVILLE, NY, September 05, 2003 - Video Design Software (VDS), a leading developer of broadcast
automation software as well as the Liberty paint and animation product line, announces Neurons V for
Synapse on Quantel's generationQ range of products, at IBC 2003. Synapse is VDS' proprietary plug-in
product designed to support After Effects plug-ins within the Quantel user interface. VDS now offers
six distinctive plug-in packages called Neuron Bundles for Synapse, each offering an array of dramatic effects.
"With the release of Neurons V, we now offer generationQ customers access to superb lighting and optical
type effects," comments D.R. Worthington, Director of Marketing and Product Development at VDS. "With
these new Synapse editions being rolled out at IBC, VDS will now bring unprecedented image processing
options to the Quantel generationQ product range."
The Neurons V Bundle includes Knoll Light Factory 2 from Red Giant Software. Knoll Light Factory is
the gold standard in lighting effects used by thousands of motion graphic professionals and visual
effects artists. With this package you can create light effects and lens flares like those on television
and in feature films. Like the majority of VDS plug-in bundles for Synapse, Knoll Light Factory 2
supports full 8-bit or 16-bit processing for ultimate quality.
"Quantel are delighted that VDS continue to develop Neuron plug-in bundles for generationQ users."
Stated Tony Bellamy, Product Manager - Graphics at Quantel. "With the addition of the highly acclaimed
and quality knoll Light Factory 2 plug-ins, generationQ users are presented an extensive and ever
growing range of superb plug-in effects."
"We are very pleased that VDS has made Knoll Light Factory 2 available as a Synapse addition to Quantel
users," said Andrew Little, Director of Sales and Business Development at Red Giant Software. "KLF 2 is
a truly spectacular lighting effects package that will be a great complement to the other Neuron bundles
that VDS offers."
All new Quantel generationQ products will be shipping with trial versions of Synapse and Neurons Bundles
already installed. As Synapse and Neurons are compatible with the entire generationQ product range,
they are very attractive additions to any Quantel customer interested in expanding their system's capabilities.
