Virtual Katy Launches VK Conformer Making Auto-Conforming Affordable for Pro Tools Users (4/4/2006)

Virtual Katy Development Limited, a Digidesign(R) development partner delivering workflow solutions for audio professionals, today announced a new addition to their product line, VK Conformer. Designed for the sole purpose of conforming and non-destructively recompiling Pro Tools sessions, VK Conformer is cut from the original award winning Virtual Katy software which was put to the test on Peter Jackson’s "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. VK Conformer will make its debut at the NAB 2006 exhibition held in Las Vegas NV from April 24 through April 27 on the Avid Partner Pavilion, booth SL1513.

"Manual conform sessions are painful. No sound editor wants to spend any of their valuable time syncing sessions," comments John McKay, founder and head of research and development, Virtual Katy. "VK Conformer offers them the technology to automate this part of their work day at a price point they can afford."

With VK Conform, Pro Tools users can update their audio session utilizing a change list EDL or change note in a fraction of the time it takes manually.

VK Conform Feature Highlights:

*VK Format Support Support for Avid Change Notes and EDLs

*VK List Cleaner Parse unwanted elements from lists. For example-split out video and audio elements.

*VK Conform Identifies the necessary sound file changes and automatically re-syncs the Pro Tools session.

*VK Preview Mode – Conform Control Preview visually and modify region boundaries before committing to the conform.

Pricing and Availability

VK Conformer will ship April 2006. The MSRP is $395.00 and can be ordered from the Virtual Katy web site or through a Virtual Katy authorized reseller
