MediaSilo Releases Upgrade to Accept Non-Video Files

November 6th, 2008

Boston, Massachusetts – In a significant upgrade to the company’s suite of online video tools for production professionals and creative pros, online video management and collaboration leader MediaSilo has added audio, image, document and program file upload to it’s broad feature set. Designed around the platform’s user friendly interface, non-video file upload marks a broad expansion of MediaSilo’s widely acclaimed, cost-effective video collaboration workflow.

“Incorporating audio, document, image and program file uploads demonstrates MediaSilo’s commitment to our customers,” said Kai Pradel, MediaSilo CEO. “We’ve been working very closely with our subscribers in providing not only a multi-file asset management system that compliments the MediaSilo workflow, but one that provides a seamless, simple and logical user interface.”

The new feature allows MediaSilo users to upload documents, images and other files to workspaces in the company’s online video application. There, users can share files directly related to videos within their online workspace.

Acceptable file types range from aiff, mp3, to word docs and images. This way, content producers can not only share video files with remote teams but also head shots, storyboards, scripts, location photos, audio files, and more.

“Our customer’s demands are constantly changing and we’re committed to adapting to their needs,” said Pradel of MediaSilo’s frequent updates. “As an online service, we have the kind of flexibility in improving the product you won’t find in desktop apps,” he said.

The new feature comes just weeks after the Boston-based company announced the release of aggressive new pricing plans that provide unlimited storage and bandwidth for just $99 (USD) per month. Pricing and plans are featured on the company’s upgraded website.

What is a Four Track Recorder?
Stereo tape recorders record two tracks at a time on a cassette. A four-track recorder allows you to record one track at a time while listening to the other three. This allows you to record a guitar part, then add a vocal part, then add a harmony, and so on. The Beatles recorded several albums using only four tracks. Four-track cassette recorders were the first affordable multi-track recorders for home musicians. Multitrack recording software, like GarageBand and Pro Tools, allow you to record many tracks, but the principle is the same. FourTrack (the iPhone app) gives you the simplicity of the old-school cassette four-track in an affordable and convenient package. With FourTrack in your pocket, you can record music anywhere at the moment of inspiration.

Super-fast peer-to-peer tech trialled

Forget about P2P, P4P is where it’s really at

New trials of P4P technology have been run by Comcast and for the first time ever the company has released the results. And they make for impressive reading.

According to the company, P4P technology increases P2P speeds by a whopping 80 per cent.

This is not all: the speed does not increase your network load, keeping bandwidth pretty much the same as if you were using a normal peer-to-peer network.

The way the technology seems to work is by localising P2P traffic – so your computer doesn’t go looking for data all over the world, but keeps it within your ISP’s own network.

Cheap to run

The trial that took place involved a licensed 21MB video file. The results were impressive. When an iTracker was used (which keeps traffic within your ISP network) upload and download times were increased by around 80 per cent.

This is good news for those who use P2P sites and those that run them, iTrackers servers are cheap to run and fast with it.

Although the technology is still in its trial period, things are looking up for P4P technology.

24×7digital releases HappyHolidays! 2.10 for Mac OS X

November 6th, 2008

Los Angeles, California – 24×7digital is proud to announce HappyHolidays! 2.10, their popular photo card creation utility for Mac OS X. Create unique photo cards for every occasion: Birth Announcements, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduation, Birthdays, Party Invites, Valentines Day, as well as Thank You and Get Well cards.

HappyHolidays! makes it easy to create personalized photo cards, perfect for sending to family and friends. Use any digital photo, add a background, a personal message, and build the perfect photo card. Users may stylize the message and create as many variations as they wish for each card.

Unlike most pre-designed cards ordered from photo centers, HappyHolidays! is not limited to a set number of characters or lines for personalized messages. It works just like a word processor, offering the user much more freedom to set the text attributes (font, color, size, and alignment) of their message. Add multiple images, and use simple image manipulation controls to crop and resize images. And users are not limited to one language. Personalize messages in any language supported by Mac OS X.

Deliver photo cards in any of three, convenient methods: via email, a personal color printer, or at the local photo center. HappyHolidays! allows users to easily email a photo card using Apple’s Mail application by converting it into a jpeg file and attaching it to a new Mail message. At any time users may print their photo cards on their own color printer at home. And users may significantly reduce cost by saving photo cards as hi-res jpegs and printing them at their local photo center as normal prints.

Feature Highlights:
* Supports 4″x6″ and 5″x7″ card sizes
* Easy Photo Card Creation
* Control the appearance and style of Photo Cards
* Personalize the message in different languages
* Print hi-res JPEG file as a normal print at any photo center
* Print Photo Card on any photo printer
* Email Photo Card to family and friends
* Save money printing as normal prints over pre-designed photo cards

Among HappyHolidays! most useful features is its ability to save money when printing HappyHolidays! photo cards as normal prints rather than than ordering pre-designed photo cards from a photo center. Pre-designed Holiday Cards can cost as much as $0.84 per card with a required minimum 50 copy order. Conversely, printing 4″x6″ prints is very inexpensive – as low as $0.12 each with no minimum order. Because HappyHolidays! saves photo cards as a 300 dpi jpeg file, users may conveniently print them at any photo center that prints digital photos.

Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.4 or later (Leopard compatible)
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
* 42.2 MB Hard Drive space

Pricing and Availability:
HappyHolidays! 2.10 is priced at only $10.00 (USD). A full-featured demo is available for download. The unregistered application is limited in that all saved images will include a watermark. More information about HappyHolidays!, along with an online tutorial, is available at the 24×7digital website.
