The new Timeline Object includes numerous layers of videos, images or sound, synchronized to one centralized timecode. This is done across displays and computers. Several timeline objects can be added and can run simultaneously.
While this object requires loading all media files in advance before running a timeline, you can still load and play videos, images, texts and external inputs on top of a timeline. Moreover, it includes the option of fading smoothly between two media files on a single layer across displays, all while the timeline is running, says the company.
"There is a rise in demand for interactivity in typical time based show applications, therefore we added this tool to create a time based show without compromising any of our interactive and real time capabilities," says Nir Goldhagen, Showlogix' CTO.
"As we add more features and add depth to existing features, it is critical for us to ensure that users find their way around the software. Therefore we've created an environment which uses the same simple logical interface across the system. Keeping the simple user interface, makes operators' and integrators' lives much simpler. This way, they can use their time, skills and imagination to create great looking and functional installations."
