Major update of ShowMacster (v1.4)
Offenburg, Germany - June 12th, 2005 - E.R.S “Pleasant software for the people” announces a major update of ShowMacster (v1.4).
ShowMacster v1.4 not only sports a user interface refinement, it also comes with a set of brand new features and finally fixes the iGlasses conflict!
- Sketchboard is ShowMacster’s new tool which enables the user to draw right inside the current streaming picture. It makes it possible to draw on a blank sheet or any photo. The drawing is updated live as ShowMacster streams any changes instantly.
- Quickdrop lets the user start slideshows immediately without the need of importing the media files. By dropping several files or a folder filled with different media files out of the Finder onto the Quickdrop field, ShowMacster starts presenting them to the opponent. Three navigation buttons give the user control over the presentation.
- ShowMacster has now a built in update check.
- The user interface has been redesigned by replacing the previous buttons with an action button. It bundles the file organisation and the activation of Sketchboard and Quickdrop.
With the release of ShowMacster v1.4, the ShowMacster homepage (http://www.showmacster.com) has also received a facelift. A more user friendly navigation concept, a new “Features” page and several QuickTime movies offer not only a better overview but also allow a detailed look at ShowMacster.
ShowMacster is an extension to Apple’s iChat AV which enables the user to stream pictures, Quicktime movies and live screen captures during video conferences.
ShowMacster is seamlessly integrated into iChat AV, adding a drawer to the video chat window. By pressing a button or hotkey ShowMacster will switch from the current iSight video stream to whatever assigned picture, movie or live screen capture.
Thus, ShowMacster not only enables the user to show slide shows of his pictures or video clips but also to illustrate his actions on his screen to his opponent.
ShowMacster is available for Mac OS X 10.3 and Mac OS X 10.4 and is priced at 15 Euro (about $20).
