Media 100 announce first shipments of 844/X Version 2

Media 100 have announced their first customer shipment of The Finishing Release, an updated version of the company's award-winning 844/X family of realtime vertical editing systems.
The company are also shipping XBLUR, the industry's first real-time 10-bit 50-pixel Gaussian Blur capability.
The Finishing Release represents the largest expansion of 844/X features since first shipments of the system began a year ago, and supports new toolsets for colour correction, unlimited-layer compositing, editing and audio. The new software also includes support for XBLUR, which the Company is delivering to customers one month earlier than initially announced.
Rick Keilty, director of 844/X product marketing at Media 100, said: "Version 2 and XBLUR exemplify how rapidly we are developing 844/X.
"The new features we're delivering today are a result of direct feedback from hundreds of 844/X installations around the world. We have worked with them on a daily basis to try to make this remarkable next-generation system among the most customer-driven solutions in the industry."
