Cinesoft and BeamYourScreen are proud to announce the integration of the Cerebro project management complex with Mikogo – the easy-to-use and cross-platform remote desktop tool ideal for web conferencing and remote support.

Mikogo-logo-tagline

The Mikogo software has been implemented within both the Cerebro Mac OS X and Windows distribution kits. We have created a new “Web conference” menu within the Cerebro interface that allows users to launch Mikogo quickly and easily. All you need to do is  register your Mikogo account and click on “Start Mikogo web conference”. Registration is necessary only when you wish start a screen sharing session. Participants, on the other hand, are not required to register a Mikogo account and can rather sit back, relax, and enjoy the easy-to-use Cerebro Mikogo web conference. Player for saved sessions available under Windows OS.

Interview with Bazelevs team (sorry, only in Russian).

We chose Cerebro, because it gives our director the opportunity to give timely comments on our work and is user friendly. Plus, we can see the progress on different shots that are all done at the same time, set tasks for our employees and give them all the necessary feedback. Transfer of large files is distributed and is similar with Torrent. We worked in close collaboration with the developers of the system and they provided timely support.

Cerebro and Wacom: creative reviewing with a feather-like touch

2010/03/30 Posted by Cerebro 0 thoughts on “Cerebro and Wacom: creative reviewing with a feather-like touch”

Cinesoft, developer of Cerebro media project management complex and Wacom CIS, the representative (on the territory of Russia and CIS) of the world’s leading manufacturer of pen tablets, interactive pen displays, and digital interface solutions have entered into a strategic partnership.

A first step towards mutually beneficial cooperation was the integration of Wacom pen tablets with the Cerebro media project management system to the joy of clients that appreciate convenience and comfort. The integration of these two products will give users new opportunities to realize their creative potential, plus will drastically increase the level of comfort of work with a computer.

Bamboo in use

Support of Wacom pen tablets broadens the range of creative reviewing options and enables Cerebro users to adjust brush size depending on pressure level; switch to “eraser” option (turns on when pen is turned upside down); use new panning instrument (by default in Mirada (installed media player) main menu.

It is important to note that the new reviewing options are relevant not only for employees responsible for digital content creation, but for managers and decision makers, as the process of reviewing has been greatly simplified by the use of ergonomic pens. All they need to do is draw their comments on a video/image just like on a piece of paper, which is a lot easier than using a digital mouse to do the same thing or to explain the required adjustments by words.

Constantly updating and upgrading Cerebro, Cinesoft strives to create a program complex that is convenient and user-friendly for a maximum of clients.

The company constantly broadens its scope of partner programs and plans on launching a web and iPhone version of Cerebro in the nearest future.

Siggraph Asia 2009. Impressions.

2009/12/29 Posted by Cerebro 0 thoughts on “Siggraph Asia 2009. Impressions.”

Actually, we weren’t quite expecting this. Siggraph Asia 2009 really gathered a lot of visitors: 6500 people from 50 countries in 3 days. Notwithstanding the huge language barrier (as the main languages in cosmopolitan Tokyo are Japanese and the language of signs which we spoke fluently by the time we left) Cerebro aroused the interest of the public. After long explanations of what exactly our project management solution is and what you do with it, the strongest impression was left by playback of recorded comments, mouse cursor movement, timeline shifting and, of course, drawing on the image. The online reviewing option also, for some strange reason, caused citizens of the hi-tech capital of the Land of the Rising Sun to cry out in astonishment. Not kidding 🙂 Viva visualization! To sum up, judging by the amount of business cards and downloaded demos participating was a really good idea.
Now, preparing for the next Siggraph Asia that will be held in Seoul in 2010, we need to buy in some phrase books and offer more Cerebro options. And off we go!
