Intelligent Gadgets Announces Imminent Release of v2.0 syncVUEpro, Currently in Public Beta
LOS ANGELES, CA – June 20th, 2007 – Intelligent Gadgets, the creators of advanced collaborative digital review and approval tools announced today that syncVUEpro (shown for the first time at NAB) is due for release soon.

"Our target release date for syncVUEpro was the beginning of June, but we delayed the release to refine some of the features after receiving some valuable feedback from a few of our beta-testers. The release date has been pushed back to approximately the middle of July, but it will be well worth the wait for all our existing customers."

All current syncVUE users as well as all those who've expressed interest in the "pro" version will be receiving emails soon with information on the new release.

Intelligent Gadgets Extends NAB 2007 Promotional Offer by Two Weeks
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 28, 2007 – Intelligent Gadgets, the creators of advanced collaborative digital review and approval tools, has extended their NAB 35% special offer on syncVUE with a free upgrade to syncVUEpro for another two weeks due to popular demand and an email server problem.

"When we offer discounts on syncVUE the response is always huge and this special offer was no exception, but about 700 of the emails we sent out to people who swiped their cards at the show were never received by the intended recipients due to a problem with our "broadcast" email server. So we've decided to extend the offer by two weeks in order give those people more time to take advantage of this offer," says Michael Buday, President of Intelligent Gadgets.

Intelligent Wows at NAB 2007 Attendees with Debut of syncVUEpro
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 22, 2007 – Intelligent Gadgets, the creators of advanced collaborative digital review and approval tools, enjoyed a tremendous reception from NAB crowds to the preview of the next generation syncVUE, named syncVUEpro.

"We've had a huge amount of feedback from our client base over the last ten months and all those who stopped by the booth were able to see we've been listening. Almost all the features our customers asked for since the v1.0 release have been included in v2.0, now named syncVUEpro," said Michael Buday, president of Intelligent Gadgets."

Hundreds of current syncVUE customers stopped by the booth and were in awe of the huge number of productivity improvements in V2.00. Designed to make managing and moving media easier then ever before, all of the new features were extremely well received. "Our goal was to make the whole process infinitely easier for all those who need to review media, especially for those somewhat technically challenged."

One of the major hurdles faced by those creating content is how to push the content to their collaborative audience - a director, a producer or a fellow artist. In the previous version of syncVUE, everyone involved in a session required a local copy of each media file before a session could begin. With syncVUEpro, that's no longer the case.

"With our new Intelligent Playlists, all users have to do is let syncVUEpro push their content to a web server that's accessible to their collaborators. When media is added to the playlist from the web server, syncVUEpro retains the location of the media and any security information (usernames, passwords) required to gain access to it. However, the security information is encrypted and never revealed to the session collaborators if desired. When a syncVUE playlist is received from the creator of the content, all the session recipient needs to do is double click the media name in their syncVUE player. The media immediately begins to play and download, but the person is never aware of where the media resides."

Other new features include a graphics markup layer, voice notes, built in FTP client, publish to web as storyboard, improved interface design and many others.

syncVUEpro is targeted to be released in early summer and will be a free upgrade to all current syncVUE customers. In addition, those who purchase syncvUE v1.0 before the end of April will receive a 35% discount on any number of syncVUE licenses, and will also be entitled to a free upgrade to the "pro" version.

Intelligent Gadgets Debuts syncVUEpro at NAB 2007 syncVUEpro Bolsters Remote Collaborative Video Editing & Review Workflow; Adds Voice Notes, Playlists, FTP Support, Graphics Layer and Support for Online Web Video
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 3, 2007 – Intelligent Gadgets, the creators of advanced collaborative digital media review and approval tools, today announced they will debut syncVUEpro -- a new and significantly enhanced version of its flagship Skype-based media review tool -- during NAB 2007 next month in Las Vegas.

Building on the powerful collaborative media sharing capabilities of syncVUE, syncVUEpro adds key capabilities critical to workflow requirements of large production and post facilities, such as the ability to review online QuickTime media, Intelligent Playlists, FTP support, voice notations and a graphics layer.

The founders of Intelligent Gadgets will unveil syncVUEpro in the Tiger Technology booth #SU14705 during NAB 2007 on April 16, 2007.

“syncVUE has touched an emotional chord among the production and post house community – we’ve clearly anticipated their pain when it comes to the collaborative review workflow. As a result of our unique and surprisingly simple approach to remote collaborative review, we’ve received tremendous feedback from customers on how to make syncVUE that much more indispensable,” said Michael Buday, president of Intelligent Gadgets. “syncVUEpro is the manifestation of the feedback and requirements of some of the largest, most respected facilities in our industry.”

Scott Templeton, executive producer at Pie Town Productions, a television production company specializing in reality and documentary programming, has embraced syncVUEpro as a key tool in connecting the creative teams between its Los Angeles and Chicago facilities. Templeton adds, “syncVUEpro was clearly developed by experienced editors. Only a fellow editor, someone who has lived the angst of the review and approval process, could develop a feature-rich solution that not only makes the collaborative review and approval workflow easier, but actually make it more effective and efficient.”

New Features of syncVUEpro
Making its debut at NAB 2007, executives from Intelligent Gadgets will highlight syncVUEpro and its innovative new collaborative enhancements, including:

Synched Online Video Access: syncVUEpro adds the ability to view and collaborate with perfectly synched online video directly from the Web, eliminating the need to forward or FTP media files to all participants. Simply enter the URL location to the media file and all participants in the session can immediately begin to watch and review the movie.
Graphics Layer: Draw, make notes or annotations directly to the shared media for all participants to see (and add to) in real time.
Voice Notes: Record audio notes to add comments, recommendations or ideas to recall later or share with a colleague not in the session at a later date.
Intelligent Playlists: A new versatile database enables users to track all assets (media files) wherever they may reside; on a server, local or networked drive, or on the web.
Built-in Automatic FTP Synching: New built-in FTP function allows media within a project to be automatically uploaded to multiple FTP locations. Clients running syncVUEpro will automatically receive media files as they become available – keeping everyone in the project in-sync at all times.
Storyboard HTML Export: Printed video frames with graphics, titles, notes and timecode can be exported as HTML files for viewing locally or on the web.

syncVUEpro: Enhancing the Professional Collaborative Workflow

syncVUEpro builds on the premise of the original syncVUE, also extending the promise of powerful collaborative media sharing capabilities to the digital media review and approval workflow process. syncVUEpro also delivers:

A powerful media player with frame accurate collaborative control enabled by SKYPE;
Ability to play any media file supported by QuickTime;
Ability to play Windows Media and MXF files (via a plug-in from Telestream) providing compatibility with Sony’s Blu-ray based XDCAM formats;
Audio/video chat, enabled by SKYPE and leveraging syncVUE’s synchronized media playback capability;
Virtual Laser Pointer capability, enabling multiple participants to simultaneously point to any visual element of the movie in real-time during playback;
Ability to add time-code-based text annotations (markers), automatically propagated to all connected clients;
Markers can contain titles and extensive notes for quick and easy review and approval process;
Users can create annotations offline, reconnect to the session, and have all annotations instantly inherited by the other clients;
Upon completion, markers can be exported to industry-popular non-linear editing solutions, such as Final Cut Pro.
Advanced Licensing Management system enables customers to extend temporary licenses to colleagues or clients for flexible, hassle-free access to syncVUE.

Intelligent Gadgets and Tiger Technology Partner at NAB 2007 to Provide VFX Artists with Skype-Based Collaborative Workflow AB2007, Booth SU14705
syncVUE Integrates with stoneGate to Enable Inferno, Flame, Flint, Fire, Smoke Artists to Collaborate Remotely in Real-Time
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 3, 2007 – Intelligent Gadgets (www.syncvue.com) and Tiger Technology (www.tiger-technology.com) today announced a strategic partnership in which the two companies have joined forces to provide the visual effects design community with an innovative, efficient solution for collaborating remotely on effects-laden video projects. Leveraging Tiger Technology’s stoneGate virtual file management system for visual effects artists with syncVUE, a Skype-based collaborative video review and approval tool, this joint initiative enables Autodesk inferno, flame, flint, fire and smoke artists to collaborate remotely and in real-time on synched media files stored on Autodesk Stone systems.

Executives from both companies will unveil this strategic initiative during NAB 2007 on April 15 – 18, 2007 (booth #SU14705) in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

“syncVUE has transformed the review and approval process for the professional editing community. It has also become clear to us that the very same needs exist in the visual effects design community – specifically, the need to get disparate colleagues and clients together, from wherever they may be physically located to collaborate on VFX projects,” said Michael Buday, president of Intelligent Gadgets. “Tiger Technology is an innovator in providing these artists unfettered access to raw images stored on [Autodesk’s] Stone systems. Adding syncVUE to this innovation now provides artists with a collaborative window into these effects-laden files, and they can do this from any system, wherever they are and with a simple Internet or LAN connection. It’s a breakthrough!”

“Tiger Technology and Intelligent Gadgets share the same vision; to simplify, streamline and optimize the collaborative workflow by leveraging innovative technologies that save time, energy, and money for our customers,” added Alexander Lefterov, chief technology officer and co-founder of Tiger Technology. “syncVUE adds a new collaborative dimension to stoneGate. The ability to not only view Stone files, but have disparate colleagues viewing synched files, sharing their notes, ideas and recommendations over a simple Internet connection adds an entirely new value proposition for the review and approval workflow and extends the value of stoneGate with deeper capabilities tailored to the design community.”

syncVUE and stoneGate at NAB ’07
syncVUE is a SKYPE-based, collaborative digital media review and approval tool for professional video editors and digital media designers. Conceived by seasoned editors and digital media industry veterans, syncVUE addresses the inefficiencies and frustrations of an oft overlooked component of the digital media workflow – the client/editor review process.

Tapping the inherent cost efficiencies and collaborative benefits of SKYPE, syncVUE combines an innovative frame accurate media player with seamless, real time collaboration capabilities to create an entirely unique workflow environment for digital media editors, animators, directors, producers and advertising agencies. syncVUE delivers a synchronized, shared media viewing experience with no geographical limitations to any desktop – Mac OSX or Windows XP – with an Internet connection.

stoneGate from Tiger Technology is a virtual file system that enables raw image sequences stored on Autodesk Media and Entertainment Stone file system to be manipulated using standard graphics and animation workstations over a regular LAN connection.

Visitors to the Tiger Technology booth will see first-hand how workstations connected to a network, with the combined capabilities of syncVUE and stoneGate, can collaborate on perfectly synched, visual effects laden image sequences pulled from a stone server – all in real time.

October issue of Post Magazine Highlights syncVUE
LOS ANGELES, CA – November 4, 2006 – Intelligent Gadgets (www.syncvue.com), the creators of advanced collaborative digital media review and approval tools, announced today that Post Magazine's October issue features some discussion about "Getting in Sync", and highlights syncVUE as a tool for collaboration:

Using syncVUE by Intelligent Gadgets in Dana Point, CA, Fat Sand and Cribb were able to collaborate on the developments of the project. A QuickTime 7.0-based media player, syncVUE plugs into SKYPE, a free downloadable VOIP (voice over Internet protocol) service that adopts the user's SKYPE buddy list as its own. syncVUE provides realtime, frame-accurate synchronization of media files in any codec or resolution, as well as the ability to add timecode-based annotations to appropriate frames. QuickTime video files are sent in advance of online synchronization. "For us, one of the best aspects of syncVUE is that we send the QuickTime video to our clients in advance and then we both work offline to review the footage and make annotations," said Claisse. "Then when we meet online using syncVUE, the footage and our notes are automatically synchronized. This saves a lot of time for everyone."

Developer Michael Buday understands that and now, whether you’re across town or across the globe, there is now a simple tool that truly fosters collaboration on a grand scale. I’m giving this 5 out of 5 Cows, the highest ranking we have. If we had a “Cow of the Year” award, I’d put in my vote for syncVUE."
