Iridas
Framecycler is a product declined in several editions,
Framecycler Professional, DDS, DI and Venue System.
 |
FrameCycler Professional works in tandem with content-creation
and compositing applications providing artists with instant
playback access to their projects |
 |
FrameCycler Digital Daily System 2007 is a powerful review and approval tool, ideally suited for post houses and VFX facilities.
The application provides unlimited real-time playback
of uncompressed frame sequences at HD, 2K, and higher
resolutions. FrameCycler DDS 2007 can both provide conventional
and stereoscopic playback. |
 |
FrameCycler DI is a new application for reviewing uncompressed
frame-based content, conforming Edit Decision Lists, and
running collaborative remote review sessions over the
internet with IRIDAS' new ReviewLink technology.uilding
on five years of leadership in film resolution playback,
FrameCycler DI reads and writes virtually every file format
used in the industry including Cineon, DPX, OpenEXR, and
many others. |
 |
FrameCycler VenueSystem is the first uncompressed playback
software designed specifically for theme parks, museums
or location-based entertainment. With FrameCycler VenueSystem
the original image is displayed faithfully, in its native
file format, resolution, and color-depth. Now the same
playback technology used in the world’s most advanced
postproduction and visual effects facilities is available
for the big screen. |
All
of these products can be controlled using Iridas Framecycler
MXM. Basic operations are directly available such as 'Open
Sequence', 'Play', 'Pause', etc... Advanced control can
be performed using the genereic 'Dispatch Command' command
which can virtually address any kind of command to Framecycler.

Installation
(MXM) :
No
specific installation is required for the MXM itself.
However, the file named 'ExControl.dll', and provided
in the MXM package, must be installed on the Framecycler
machine. The target destination is the 'plugins' sub-folder
of the Framecycler installation folder. This file is also
available in the sub-folder '..\Medialon Manager\MXM\Iridas
Remote' once the MXM installed.
In the case where the ExControl.dll file is already present
on the target machine, it must be replaced by the one
provided with this MXM. A backup of the previous 'ExControl.dll
file is strongly recommended, obviously.
This
ExControl.dll file is used to communicate between the
MXM and Iridas Framecycler application through the network.
