Our friends from atkon took care of the enrollment for one of the most renowned awards in the events industry – the EVA Award. With our joint project for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar we sure hope to win the category exhibition events.

Apparently they had loads of fun – meeting old acquaintances

We have added three new very useful software controls to our stereolize Shop.

  [V] pdf Control

Enables you to display Adobe Acrobat  on another device in your network and control it via Ventuz. You can also capture your PDF file from the monitor via Video Capture Card and Ventuz Live Video Node.

[V] Keynote Control

With [V] Keynote Control for Ventuz you can control Keynote on your Mac. You must use a capture card when using “Live Video” input. This program will be controlled directly from Ventuz. Therefore, Ventuz and the program must be in the same network.
This function is only for Ventuz Professional and Ventuz PLE. It will not run on Ventuz Express.

  [V] VLC Video Control

With [V] VLC-Video Control for Ventuz you can open all Videos which are supported by VLC-Player. You can play Video on another device in your Network and control it by Ventuz. You can also use virtual capturing and show your own screen.
This program will be controlled directly from Ventuz. Therefore, Ventuz and the program must be in the same network.
This function is only for Ventuz Professional and Ventuz PLE. It will not run on Ventuz Express.

Go ahead and check them out! If you like it – buy it

Here´s Erik – the machine-gun-mouth presenting Ventuz at Siggraph in Vancouver in front of a little demo that we built for this occasion. I am still stunned by how fast a person can speak

New Tool – Ventuz 3 Performance Control Center

 
With the [v] Stats Tool you can see Ventuz performance statistics of all your Ventuz Machines without opening ‘Ventuz Statistics’ in the Ventuz Designer. All Ventuz Machines that are in your network will be scanned for scenename, framerate, system and graphic memory, video -, content -, hierarchy and render performance.
[V] Stats runs on Windows and needs .NET Framework 4 to be installed.

This function is only for Ventuz 3 Professional and Ventuz 3 PLE. It will not run on Ventuz Express. Machines using the older versions of Ventuz will be tracked but cannot be used for detail information.

And that´s not all – we have another goody that we prepared for you:

[V] Powerpoint Control

Sometimes Powerpoint had to be played at an external computer and the screen had to be captured in Ventuz. For better control over Powerpoint, this program was developed. With ‘Powerpoint Control for Ventuz’ you have the possibility to control Powerpoint with Ventuz. You can navigate through Powerpoint from our Ventuz Node and you can also navigate between slides and control with subclicks.
[V] Powerpoint Control runs on Windows and consists of a Ventuznode as .vza and the tool as .exe file. PowerPoint has to be installed. This function is for Ventuz Professional and Ventuz PLE (Version 2008 and newer). It will not run on Ventuz Express.

In addition we are proud that we have added new icons and objects and have now over 250 of these items in the shop.

We had the great honour to develop yet another presentation for Porsche´s new 911. The first event took place in the famous Porsche Museum in Stuttgart where a selected group of journalists could get a sneak preview of the new one in the group.

More events with cool and new presentation concepts are yet to come. We´ll keep you updated.

In Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti over ten million people are confronted with the most severe drought in the past sixty years. Somali people flee from the center of the country over the borders to Ethiopia and Kenya – countries that are suffering from the effects of the drought themselves. The red cross is helping these people on the run with water, food and medical aid.

We have decided to help the red cross help these people and so can you.
