R5.14 Release


We are proud to end the year with a new Ventuz release that supports DVI input with Datapath capture cards and support for timecode.


Following the scheduled progress we are proud to be on track!  With offering latest Ventuz 2008 R5.14
for download, the promised support for DATAPATH cards is now available. 
 
Use DATAPATH E1 cards to realize projects with DVI input ( 1366x1024 px at 60 frames ). We are glad to introduce Timecode as a new major feature.
