Shaderific now with full support for iOS 12 - Published on 08/09/19

Shaderific version 4.4 is available on the App Store now. Shaderific is an educational app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch that helps computer science students and experienced developers to get started with OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL ES 3.0 shader development. The app makes it possible to write, compile and test shader programs directly on any iOS device without ever touching a laptop or desktop computer. Version 4.4 adds full support for iOS 12 and improvements of existing functionalities.

Hamburg, Germany - Gryphos GmbH has released Shaderific version 4.4, a major update of its OpenGL ES shader development application for iOS. Shaderific provides the full range of shader development with the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) on tablet computers and mobile devices. Vertex and fragment shader code can be created, edited and compiled on the device and all changes are visible instantly. There is no need to use a personal computer (laptop or desktop) in the shader development process anymore.

The update adds support for iOS 12 and contains several improvements of existing functionalities. In side-by-side mode all render settings are now accessible via the toolbar and the framebuffer texture is fully functional. Support for keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste and undo/redo on external keyboards have been added.

Shaderific streamlines the process of prototyping, testing and debugging shaders immensely by cutting the cord to the personal computer. Whereas traditional shader development requires compilation of the whole graphics application for every change to a shader file, all this is unnecessary now. Since the shaders are edited and compiled right on the iPad, iPhone or iPod no file transfer is needed with a personal computer and a lot of time can be saved. A further strength of Shaderific lies in the possibility to change parameters (uniforms) of the shaders via the settings menu without interrupting the rendering loop. All changes can be examined in real-time and fine-tuning the rendering result is fast and easy.

New features of version 4.4:
* Full support for iOS 12
* Display render toolbar in side-by-side mode
* Framebuffer texture works now in side-by-side mode
* Support of keyboard shortcuts for copy/paste and undo/redo on external keyboards

Device requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
* Requires iOS 12.0 or later.
* 84.6 MB

Pricing and availability:
Shaderific is available as a paid app for $9.99 (USD), or the local equivalent, on the App Store. Review copies are available upon request.

Pomfort Introduces Livegrade Studio

A new article has been published at prMac.

Pomfort Introduces Livegrade Studio - Published on 08/09/19

Munich based Pomfort today announced the immediate availability of Livegrade Studio for macOS. Targeted at users working in multi-camera setups, Livegrade Studio offers a game-changing router control infrastructure that enables a flexible, fast, and highly intuitive handling of multiple live video signals. Users are able to view and interactively switch between multiple sources and destinations quickly, and can even create routing presets that help automate the process.

Munich, Germany - Pomfort today is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Livegrade Studio. Pomfort's renowned Livegrade products offer the capabilities to interactively control live video images and looks in all kinds of production setups. The new Livegrade Studio takes the established global standard to the next level. With a set of advanced instruments, such as a dedicated router control infrastructure, professional recording capabilities, and advanced grade controls, Livegrade Studio allows an intuitive and fast interaction with multiple camera live signals. Based on specific production requirements and scenarios, these live signals need to be monitored, recorded, matched, and switched instantly.

Livegrade Studio comes with a game-changing router control infrastructure that enables a flexible, fast, and highly intuitive handling of multiple live video signals. Users are able to view and interactively switch between multiple sources and destinations quickly, and can even create routing presets that help automate the process. For example, the software helps the user quickly change the setup, e.g. showing camera A and D side-by-side on the large monitor as per the DP's request. With this, Livegrade Studio can be used as a control hub software for multiple camera setups, eliminating the need for laborious manual re-wiring and significantly reducing setup time.

Livegrade Studio's highly professional recording capabilities are designed to acquire reference material simultaneously from all cameras on set. This reference material from different production settings, different cameras and lenses, as well as different shooting days can be matched and referenced side-by-side with the live image. That way look consistency is ensured throughout the entire production. To make sure that all essential footage is captured, a convenient record indicator shows users exactly which cameras are recording. Additionally, users can manually start recording of an individual camera directly with just one click, or group multiple cameras together and set them to auto-record triggered by the rec-flag of the HD-SDI signals. This allows the action to be captured automatically the moment it happens, without any manual interaction from the user.

The software furthermore comes with a set of powerful grading controls, that enable users to create a consistent visualization of the DP's creative intent across multiple cameras. Advanced, yet fully ASC CDL-compliant interaction types, like contrast, as well as Lift, Gamma, Gain, and Printer Lights, allow a fast and precise visualization of looks directly on the live images.

"We are really excited about Livegrade Studio", says Patrick Renner, product manager of Livegrade Studio. "Film production environments can get pretty complex, especially when multiple cameras are involved. With Livegrade Studio we have created a solution that is dedicated to resolving this complexity and that empowers our customers to excel and show the best of their work in any kind of production setup. We have some exciting options in mind already how to evolve that product further. So stay tuned about what's to come next!"

Features in Livegrade Studio:
* An innovative router control infrastructure that allows users to interactively change and map video routings, and create routing presets to automate video routings

* Professional recording capabilities that enable a convenient creation of reference material throughout production. Users can easily start and stop recording single cameras, or group multiple cameras together and set them to auto-record.

* Powerful grading controls to visualize the DP's creative intent directly on the live image, including advanced interaction types, such as lift, gamma, gain, and printer lights.

* Advanced productivity features to customize Livegrade Studio to specific workflows and setups. This includes in- and ex-application automation, the use of MIDI controllers, custom keyboard shortcuts and column layouts, as well as live camera metadata.

System requirements:
* Intel Mac with Mac OS X 10.13 or higher

Pricing and Availability:
Livegrade Studio is available as a yearly subscription for USD 999 / EUR 879, or as a project license starting from USD 249 / EUR 219.
