Madison WI, March 22, 1993 ----- ASDG Incorporated, the leading innovator in color imaging technology for the Commodore Amiga, announce the availability of T-Rexx Professional Version 2.0. T-Rexx is a system integration tool with special emphasis on the NewTek Video Toaster. Large collections of Toaster Framestore images can be previewed, managed, browsed, and converted to IFF/RGB. All framestore operations, including the conversion to and from IFF/RGB, are performed in full broadcast color without requiring the Video Toaster hardware. T-Rexx enables you to read and write custom Toaster effects (both ActionFX and OrganicFX). You can turn an ANIM file into a Toaster effect, or take an existing Toaster effect and turn it back into an ANIM file. T-Rexx even includes high speed special effects processing which allows a single ANIM file to create dozens of different Toaster effects. And of course, you can create and edit Toaster projects to build the Toaster configuration which best meets your needs. T-Rexx's scripting capabilities are unparalleled. ARexx scripts are displayed in plain English and can be created and edited using a simple point-and-click interface which requires no programming knowledge. You can create scripts for any product which is ARexx, serial port, or parallel port controllable. ARexx commands for different products can be freely combined giving users the ability to merge the capabilities of multiple tools into a single application. There's even a unique real-time mode which speeds script development by allowing you to test the script (with instant feedback) as it is being written. Using T-Rexx, you can create interactive or automated multimedia presentations by linking the Video Toaster to other hardware and software products. T-Rexx comes with ready-made command sets for: AmiLink, Art Department Professional, BCD-2000A, DQ-Taco, MediaPhile, MorphPlus, PC-VCR, Personal SFC II, Personal TBC III, Pixel 3D, SunRize Studio 16, and VISCA. T-Rexx Professional carries a suggested retail price of $249 and requires Kickstart 2.0 and a minimum of 2 megabytes of system memory.
