SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 1998--Xing Technology Corporation and Cinax Designs Inc. today announced that the Cinax iFilmEdit 1.5 digital video product will incorporate Xing real-time software MPEG technology. This collaboration brings video capture, editing and playback capabilities to the PC desktop, allowing users to cut and paste content, including MPEG audio recordings, on their PC--with content available for immediate playback.
Xing's MPEG software encoding technology, the fastest available today, features superior quality full-screen, full-motion video. iFilmEdit 1.5, Cinax's digital video editing product, incorporates Xing's encoding technology to bring the VCR experience to the PC desktop, with real-time high-quality MPEG video capture using a single Intel 266 Mhz PII.
"We are extremely excited to partner with Xing. It allows us to bring the consumer the highest-quality MPEG solution," said Eric Camirand, President, Cinax Designs Inc. "The initial interest in our new capture solution confirms that this is an integrated solution that both the PC and peripheral manufacturers will use to provide end-users with simple, easy-to-use video capture, editing and internet publishing."
Files created using iFilmEdit 1.5 are up to 10 times smaller than those produced by conventional video capture solutions, without any loss in speed or quality--a critical performance breakthrough. In addition, the modular design of iFilmEdit 1.5 makes it easily integrated into existing video capture products working under Windows.
