DPS AniMate released for dpsReality and dpsVelocity

Markham, Ontario - Digital Processing Systems Inc. (DPS), a division of Leitch Technology Corp., announced today that the DPS AniMate stop-frame animation software is now available for use with the dpsReality Studio Digital Disk Recorder (SDDR) and dpsVelocity non-linear editing system.

DPS AniMate is a software package developed by DPS to enable stop-frame animators to build up animations quickly and easily. With DPS AniMate, dpsReality and dpsVelocity can be used as stop-frame video assist or direct-to-disk systems.

Previous versions of DPS AniMate, for the DPS Perception Video Recorder (PVR) and DPS Hollywood Video Recorder, have been used in productions from Aardman Animations, Cosgrove Hall Productions and many other companies. 35 DPS AniMate/PVR systems were used by Aardman on their first full-length animated feature, last summer's hit film Chicken Run.

"DPS AniMate for the PVR and DPS Hollywood have been the preferred choice of high-end stop-frame animators for a long time," said Peter Kavanagh, special projects manager for DPS Europe. "We're pleased to now make DPS AniMate available to users of our latest products, dpsReality and dpsVelocity."

Registered owners of dpsReality and dpsVelocity can download the new DPS AniMate software from the DPS web site, www.dps.com.
