For Immediate Release
May 11, 2004
Atlanta, GA. Today, EchoFX, a Macintosh software developer,
announced the immediate availability of USBVision For Mac OS X 1.1 -software
drivers for video digitizing devices including the XLR8
InterView, Belkin VideoBus and others.
Version 1.1 adds auto-file naming, keyboard snapshot access,
duration-based recording, and broader AppleScript support to the
USBVision Capture software. Aspect ratio management has been added
across the board -from snapshots, to recordings to exporting.
Software launch times have been significantly improved.
The software will now install without a serial number and will
operate in "demonstration" mode until it is serialized.
Issues with CapSure and VideoBus II devices have also been resolved.
EchoFX is also pleased to announce special pricing on Econ Technologies
ImageCaster 2.0 software. A fully-licensed version is available for
only $19.95, a 33% savings to those who purchase, or have purchased
the USBVision software from EchoFX. Those who received ImageCaster
bundled with their hardware are entitled to even greater savings.
General Information
The USBVision software offers Mac OS X support for a wide range of
devices including XLR8 InterView, Belkin VideoBus and VideoBus II,
iRez USB Live and CapSure, Global Village VideoFX, Alpha Data USB
Video Adapter, Hauppauge USB-Live and many others -including those
originally sold as "PC-only". Mac OS X support for most
of these devices was previously unavailable.
Additionally, the new USBVision software will allow up to
eight video capture devices to run simultaneously on one computer.
Multiple devices can be used with Ben Bird's SecuritySpy and
SubRosaSoft's HomeGuardian security packages allowing the
monitoring of many different video sources. Multiple devices can
also be used with video broadcast and webcam packages, allowing
multiple video sources to be uploaded to the Internet from a single
computer.
The USBVision software has been enhanced in a number of ways
from the original InterView-only software, including the addition
of snapshot button support, audio input support, and increased
compatibility with various third-party applications. The USBVision
Capture software included, now features hardware accelerated
full-screen playback and AppleScript support.
The USBVision software is available at

for $25.00 USD. Customers who purchased the InterView For Mac
OS X software or InterView Lite hardware from EchoFX may upgrade to the new
USBVision software free of charge. In addition to the software,
EchoFX sells the original InterView video capture devices
for $64.95. EchoFX now accepts Visa and MasterCard in addition to PayPal.
