The new release simplifies the process of securely sharing media, using a built-in FTP client and playlist organiser to simplify your review sessions.  New arrow and circle drawing tools, plus black- and white-board options, make it even easier to communicate your ideas with others around the world and then save the frames for later reference.  And the ability to add text markers throughout a sequence makes locating specific shots faster than ever.

cineSync offers an unparalleled user experience, making it simple for guests to participate in a session without needing to create their own account or install a third-party application.  The fact that all communication is handled by the proprietary cineSync server ensures that your privacy is never compromised and media is contained securely.

Even before its initial release last year, cineSync was adopted as an integral part of the post-production workflow on major films, with recent credits including Shaggy Dog, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and War of the Worlds.  "It has probably made me give up satellite transmission systems forever," enthuses Stephen Rosenbaum, Visual Effects Supervisor on Shaggy Dog.  cineSync has also found a place in the production of episodic television, with both Alias and Lost benefiting from this unique tool.

The release of cineSync v1.1 brings a new level of refinement and features stemming from the close relationship Rising Sun Research has with its customers.  Feedback from users on the front line in companies such as MPC, Weta, Frantic Films and The Orphanage is an integral part of the development process, ensuring that cineSync is closely aligned with ever-changing workflow demands.

cineSync v1.1 is available immediately through Rising Sun Research and runs on Mac OS X and Windows XP platforms.
