Welcome and thank you for subscribing to the new MagicBox eNewsletter. Our goal is to keep you informed of new products, features, development, and tips.

Demo DVD

A new demonstration DVD is available for the Aavelin, including informational videos and sample content.  The Demonstration DVD contains 16 sample projects representing different market segments - all designed and created using the Aavelin Composer Software.  Contact MagicBox directly for a copy of this free DVD.

2.84.20 software release

Version 2.84 of the Aavelin software is currently in beta testing and will be released officially in May.  New in this release:

  • Credit Roll – Reads the contents of a TXT file and scrolls it vertically on the screen.  Fully customizable appearance, usable over video and Flash as well.
  • Crawl Line Scheduling – Schedule crawl content items the same way pages are scheduled.  Use time domain or event scheduling to make crawls start/stop as needed, play at specific times, at specific intervals, and more!
  • Page Filtering – New thumbnail filters allow you to select types of pages to display.  Can be used to hide video pages, expired pages, and more.  Very useful for large projects.

Aavelin Hardware Changes

Now shipping with all new Aavelin systems –

  • Front USB – Additional USB port on the front of the Aavelin.  Publish with your USB drive conveniently!
  • 2nd Audio Line In – Combined with existing Line 1 and Music Bed inputs, provides 3:1 audio switching.  Use for audio feed from a separate player (DVD/VCR/MPEG), or an additional audio-only source such as a radio or CD music system.

Flash Content Authoring Services

Looking to get some Flash in your project but aren’t sure where to start?  MagicBox Creative Services can create content for you!  Anything is possible, from a simple animated logo to a longer A/V presentation.  You provide the direction, MagicBox supplies the rest.  Pricing varies depending on length and complexity of project.  Contact MagicBox directly for additional information.  Click here for a sample portfolio.

New Bronze Warranty

Bronze warranties, providing an additional year of coverage for the Aavelin, are now available.  Contact us for full details.

WildFX

If you’re interested in creating some basic Flash content yourself, WildFX by Wildform is a great tool that requires minimal experience.  Read our whitepaper on using WildFX to create Flash for the Aavelin.
