PRESS RELEASE (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE)

Boinx Software announces BoinxTV 1.3

Support for Veescope Key Softlyght chroma keying filter

Munich, Germany—May 14th, 2009. Boinx Software announced the release of BoinxTV 1.3, an important update to its breakthrough live production software that turns a Mac into a TV studio.* BoinxTV 1.3 adds new features and workflow enhancements as well as further improvements in performance and stability. Version 1.3 supports Veescope Key Softlyght, a high-quality chroma keying filter that is available separately for $49. By popular demand, the update also features an integrated configurable audio delay compensation and convenient settings to automatically create device sources. BoinxTV 1.3 is available as a free update and is highly recommended for any BoinxTV user.

“We are very excited by the level of enthusiasm that BoinxTV has created since we shipped it about 6 months ago,” says Oliver Breidenbach, CEO of Boinx Software. “Partnerships like the one with DVDxDV are a sign of a blossoming ecosystem around the BoinxTV platform. We are happy to be able to offer customers more options through cooperations like this.”

“BoinxTV is a great product and I am confident that users will find the Veescope Key Softlyght keyer a valuable addition to its toolset,” notes Brad Wright, President and CEO of DVDxDV. “I am very excited about the cooperation with Boinx Software.”

In addition to the built-in standard chroma keyer, BoinxTV supports an alternative high-quality filter based on Veescope Key by DVDxDV. The “Veescope Key’s Softlyght” filter for $49 shows excellent results in optimized studio lighting, especially in keying fine details (e.g. hair) and rapid movements. Users now can choose between different real-time solutions for their specific needs, to get the best results in using a studio setup with backdrops.

The new audio delay compensation in BoinxTV can be configured to make up for the latency introduced by using different cameras and peripheral connection standards. A new preference makes all connected cameras and microphones automatically available as sources. With BoinxTV 1.3 it is also possible to change the resolution of existing documents.
