Hey, that’s Jan Hüwel!  What is he doing there between Gil Densham and Bruce Freeman of CAST?

Jan’s company Coolux Media Systems has become CAST Software’s 50th Registered wysiwyg Developer, or RWD.  That’s what!  Coolux’s excellent progress and development in their famous Pandora’s Box media server (among others, of course) is one of the industry’s strongest innovations, and is constantly blowing people’s minds in productions worldwide.

My favorite 3D virtual space nerd and CAST President Gil Densham talked about the RWD program and its benefits:

“We make it simple for accepted RWDs.  A new RWD develops DLL in concert with CAST’s RWD Kit, which CAST then tests (note, CAST does not develop code or have access to a manufacturer’s code).  Once acceptance tested, CAST adds the RWD to its website and provides guidance about how to use certain trade names and trademarks owned by CAST to promote the RWD’s hardware / technology. CAST even helps RWDs at tradeshows by providing Demo Version CDs and loaner dongles and sometimes onsite tech support.

What’s more, RWDs can use the new wysiwyg DV for free, without a dongle to demonstrate their hardware using one of the 5 different custom-built demo files included.  Built to be plug-and-play with a patch onboard, these sample files are extremely easy and reliable to use.  DV is a tremendously useful tool; use it in showrooms, classrooms, testing labs, trade shows — literally anywhere you want around the world.

Recently, however, we added yet another advantage – since they already connect via wysiwyg, which is the only file format accepted by BlackBox and our new award-winning BlackTrax (both new innovations from CAST BlackBox Corporation), the demand for these leading-edge technologies means RWDs’ technologies will also benefit.”

CAST talked to Jan Hüwel recently about becoming the 50th RWD:

“It has always been our goal to interface with any technology out there and providing solutions that improve traditional workflows. By interfacing with wysiwyg Video Pre Programming and its visualization, it’s brought to a new level, and accessible to everyone. Complex video projection or screen tracking scenarios can be visualized and approved before even getting built. And with BlackTrax available dynamic and interactive video applications it becomes even more appealing. I can’t wait to get my hands on this new technology!”

We’re definitely glad to have Jan and Coolux onboard as an RWD!  Welcome!
