ImageCaster and InterView for Mac OS X
Econ Technologies' newest software, ImageCaster, has been
bundled with XLR8's InterView 2.1, a device that captures and converts
analog video to digital format. ImageCaster, the åwebcam-to-web simplified√
application built for Mac OS X, is added to an already impressive bundle
that includes Strata Video Shop 4.5 and QuickTime Pro 5.0.
InterView 2.1 opens the door to a lot of video devices for Mac OS X. It
converts S-Video and RCA composite to a USB connection. "With the InterView
device, almost any video source can now be used with OS X. Mac OS X users go
from having a few webcam choices to hundreds - that's awesome!" said Joseph
Japes, Director of Marketing and Quality Assurance for Econ Technologies.
ImageCaster is a straightforward and easy to use webcam application built
exclusively for Mac OS X. ImageCaster is designed around a simple tabbed
interface with a full set of features. Anyone can broadcast images with a
Mac, a video camera, and ImageCaster. Add InterView 2.1 to the mix and your
camera choices go up a hundred fold. ImageCaster automatically recognizes
the InterView driver keeping the whole process simple.
InterView and ImageCaster can be used for more than a webcam. InterView 2.1
can be used to capture video from any source for other applications and
ImageCaster can upload images to any mounted volume or file server, not just
FTP servers. "You can save images to a folder with ImageCaster and use
inexpensive analog security cameras using InterView for an effective,
inexpensive security solution. InterView and ImageCaster have a lot more
uses than just setting up webcams," said Japes.
Built for Mac OS X with QuickTime technology throughout, check out InterView
2.1 and ImageCaster at the Apple QuickTime pavilion at MacWorld New York.

"Despite the slowdown in the market, our operational efficiency was excellent," said Fred Anderson, Apple√s CFO. "Our balance sheet is very strong, with $4.3 billion in cash, and we achieved a very efficient cash conversion cycle of -36 days.
