Description

Echo Fire displays the current After Effects composition or Photoshop document on your NTSC or PAL video monitor, letting you see how your artwork really looks.

FireWire/DV, Uncompressed Video, and Everything In-Between

Choose the video output that fits your needs, whether the FireWire ports built into your Macintosh or an uncompressed video card. Echo Fire can connect your computer to your video monitor via a camcorder or FireWire converter box, giving you an inexpensive video interface that doesn't need another PCI slot. Plus, it also supports a wide variety of other video output boards, including AJA Io and Kona, Digital Voodoo D1 Desktop, Media 100, and Blackmagic Design DeckLink.

Realtime Video Previews in Adobe After Effects

Echo Fire's After Effects video previews include realtime playback, giving designers the ability to see exactly what their work looks like on video without the need to render separate movie files. Previews can loop and be paused, stepped, rewound, and fast-forwarded, allowing for detailed checks of key areas. Previews can be saved to disk for future reference and client approval. And previews include audio, making it easy to check for proper audio/video synchronization.

Clipboard Previewing

Echo Fire 2.1 provides video previewing of the current clipboard contents. Select an image in your favorite application, do a command-C to copy it to the clipboard, and you have a video preview via Echo Fire! Virtually all applications support clipboard operations, so you now have video previews virtually everywhere, including 3-D applications, painting programs, etc. (Available under OS X only.)

LiveFire - FireWire Video Routing

Using Echo Fire for Macintosh's LiveFire video-to-FireWire routing feature, any application that can play !QuickTime movies can now have DV-compressed movies routed to the FireWire connection. For professional audio applications like DigiDesign ProTools, this means video playback locked to audio without the mechanical delays of a VTR, a miniature image on the computer screen, or the need for another PCI-bus slot. Echo Fire is fully compatible with Apple QuickTime 4.1 and 5.0 so it won't interfere with the operation of other QuickTime applications. It even offers single-field still images to eliminate annoying interlace flicker when the video is paused, without degrading video playback.
