SAN FRANCISCO, July 26, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tribeworks(r) (OTCBB:TRBW) is pleased to announce the release of iShell(r) 4, the fastest, most reliable cross-platform solution for deploying auto-run CD and DVD ROMs. This release adds one-click deployment and increased protection of media assets. iShell 4 is available for immediate download.
iShell is the most effective way to develop cross-platform interactive CD-ROM's. iShell's object oriented authoring environment is a powerful visual programming solution to develop and deploy multimedia applications without wasting creative energy climbing the usual learning curve. iShell applications can also be deployed through kiosks or over the Internet.
With the release of iShell 4, delivering media through CD-ROM's has never been easier. In iShell 4 you are one click from burning to a CD-ROM. The new "burn" feature extends iShell's functionality, allowing developers to create and deploy a project without having to rely on third party software.
iShell 4 also introduces a new "Wrap" feature which allows developers to protect their code and content from end users. Using the "Wrap" button, media assets are packaged into a single file. With iShell 4, photographers, animators and video editors can protect their intellectual property with a single click.
"iShell allows digital content developers to add interactivity to their media without having to rely on third parties," said Glen Baird from Multi Image Group in Boca Raton, Florida. "After producing content with software like Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Avid, Sorenson or Discreet, deployment is easy and expedient. Without writing a single script I can deploy to disk, kiosk, or over the Internet. You have no idea how quickly we can get titles out the door."
Features: -- Visual programming environment -- CD-ROM Authoring built-in -- XML support -- Industry standard Timeline and Animation Editors -- Reliable cross-platform authoring for Mac/Windows -- Industry leading support for QuickTime -- MPEG4 A/V Support -- Visual Debugger -- Unicode text support
