MediaboardONE 1.3 released – The easy way to manage your images and movies

October 6, 2005 – Hamburg, Germany. InterServices New Media today announced the immediate availability of Mediaboard ONE 1.3 – the media cataloging and asset management application built for Mac OS X. Mediaboard ONE enables creative professionals and power users alike to easily manage their images and movies. It keeps track of the locations of your media files (whether they are on a CD/DVD, on your internal disc or on a network server), catalogs and organizes them and provides easy ways to find them fast when you need them. Mediaboard ONE creates intelligent thumbnails for every image or movie cataloged. You can add comments, keywords, license and model/property release information. The new Autofill feature makes this task fast and easy to use. Useful data, like EXIF and IPTC information, is automatically extracted from the media files and added to the catalog. The digital light table resembles the workflow of a professional Photographer or Media Asset Manager on screen. Mediaboard ONE additionally includes an enhanced image and movie viewer to display your files. The movie viewer even works in full-screen mode and supports different display modes (16:9, 4:3, full screen-zoom). The context-menu additionally shows all installed applications that support the selected media for displaying and editing. MediaboardONE easily captures and catalogs your images from digital cameras and memory cards. The new image capture module includes professional features, like auto-backup and auto-renaming of images. The capture module can also set the creator application for your images to your preferred graphics editor. For post-processing images a MacOS X Core Image based adjustment utility can be used to resize, colorize, adjust, scale and enhance images. Mediaboard ONE is workgroup-ready. The media database can either be stored locally or on a network server to be accessed by an unlimited number of users. The database core of Mediaboard ONE is SQL based and supports Apache Derby as local database and MySQL and PostgreSQL as network server. What’s new in this version MediaboardONE 1.3 brings over 80 enhancements and several bug-fixes. You can now choose from 4 different thumbnail layouts, resize your thumbnails in real-time and sort/filter the displayed media set in real-time. To manage your images more easily the Catalog is now displayed with large icons (can be customized) and you can display the number of assets in each category. The new image capture module is built for professional photographers: while downloading images from digital cameras and memory cards the image capture module can automatically create backup copies, rename image files, set the default creator application and add the images to a MediaboardONE catalog. All download settings can be saved as presets. For users migrating from Cumulus we are now providing a new Cumulus importer that can load your Cumulus catalogs with all the annotations, keywords and categories you have already created. Additionally Mediaboard ONE 1.3 includes a large number of minor enhancements and bug fixes. Among the most important are: – Support for Photoshop (PSD) files with multiple layers – Double-Click behavior can be customized – Major speed improvements for imports (especially of RAW files) – Manual rotation for thumbnails – Support for additional RAW formats (i.e. ORF) – Film Rolls, Light Tables and Image Sets can now be deleted with the DEL key – Enhanced diagnose features to resolve connection problems to the server – Auto-Reconnect to the server Mediaboard ONE 1.3 is available in English starting today. The upgrade is free for existing users. New licenses can be purchased online starting at $39.95 per Client.
