In May we will be releasing a new version of Capture named Capture Atlas, full of exciting new features, along with a new and more flexible product structure!
New features
With Capture Atlas we have taken a significant step into the future by making Capture a 64-bit application on both Mac OS X and Windows. This allows Capture to use more RAM to accomodate ever growing production sizes, as well as the use of the latest computer technologies out there, such as for instance SketchUp 2016 support on Mac OS X and moving to video playback and compression based on AVFoundation on Mac OS X and Windows Media Foundation on Windows.
Capture Atlas also features a number of amazing new design and visualization features which we will be presenting within short in a series of blog posts.
New requirements
Because of the advancements in Capture Atlas, new computer requirements will come into effect:
- For Mac OS X users, Mac OS X 10.9 or later will be required.
- For Windows users, 64-bit Windows 7 or later will be required. (If you are running a Windows 32-bit installation your Windows license covers you for 64 bits as well, but a full reinstallation of Windows is required.)
New product structure
With Capture Atlas we are changing our product structure to a production size-based one. Many users have asked us for a larger Solo Edition with the ability to visualize 2 DMX universes, but the Solo Edition does not currently include paperwork functionality and with the recognition it has received recently we believe in making it available to everyone, as it is an important part of the design process. After carefully reviewing of our current product structure we have decided to release all features across the editions and restrict them in size instead of features.
Therefore all Capture features will be available in all editions, but restricted to the following production size limitations instead:
|
Solo Edition |
Duet Edition |
Quartet Edition |
Symphony Edition |

Upgrades will be available between all editions, at the price difference between the editions in question.
Licenses will be personal and good for two computers of any operating system, just as before. However, educational institutions will be granted the right to unlimited seats per location for all editions.
