ImageCue Releases New User Content Utilities

ImageCue™ is a compact, easy-to-use image server that provides control of high definition still images and videos with only twelve channels of DMX512. Having won the LDI PLASA Member’s Choice Award for Best Gadget, this revolutionary product is distributed exclusively in the UK by White Light. To ensure that the server offers its users as many options as possible, the manufacturer has made available a new suite of free content preparation utilities.  These utilities can now be downloaded from the ImageCue website.

Whereas ImageCue™ is an already extremely versatile product, these new features offer as much control as possible over the presentation of images and video. One of the new utilities is designed specifically for users new to the content preparation process. Bill Hewlett, ImageCue™’s CEO, comments: “We’ve encountered many potential customers that want to integrate projection and digital content into their productions but feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the process.  This new utility allows the user to plug a USB flash drive into their PC and walks them through the process.”

Another utility prepares the USB drive for use with ImageCue™ and analyses the user’s content, determining how best to convert or modify it for best performance with the ImageCue™ compact server. The tedious task of adding numeric prefixes to file names is handled solely by the utility.

Andy Hook, WL’s Technical Solutions Director, comments: “ImageCue™ was a fantastic addition to the range of video technology we offer our clients. It requires minimal set-up time and has the power and ability to provide reliable content playback for any occasion. The feedback we’ve already received has been fantastic and we know that these latest additions will only enhance the user’s experience”.

Another new utility in the suite will take a PowerPoint presentation in PDF format and convert it to individually numbered jpeg images ready for use with ImageCue™. Like all of the other utilities in the suite, it prepares the content for use in one of the selected ImageCue™ output resolution settings.

Rounding out the suite are utilities that convert commonly used graphic formats like bmp, gif, and tif to jpeg as well as a video conversion and extraction tool. Both of these utilities are available in a batch configuration that can process an entire folder of images or videos.  An “auto-number” feature may be selected for batch processing.

ImageCue™ hopes to make Mac versions of the utilities available in the near future. To purchase ImageCue™, then visit ShopWL.
