The SmartyCam is finding it's way to retailers across the US and Canada this week - it has been released!! Along with the SmartyCam release is a rev to SmartyManager.

SmartyManager, the software for previewing a mounted camera, and configuring the graphical elements that display on the resulting SmartyCam video. Version 1.01.04 is available now with the following improvement:

• Translation in Japanese and Spanish

Woo Hoo!? or do we say ¿¡Por fin!?

The SmartyManager software can be downloaded here.

The, yet to be officially released in the US, SmartyCam received more updates this morning. Again, new firmware and new software.

The SmartyCam firmware rolls to v1.00.20, which extends the stability of the v1.00.16 just before it. Version 1.00.16 was rock solid in standalone mode, but had some intermittent problems when connected to an MXL. That bug has now been squashed with the new v1.00.20.

Another rev for SmartyManager, the software for previewing a mounted camera, and configuring the graphical elements on the resulting SmartyCam video. Version 1.01.03 is available now with the following improvements:

• Added new video objects tab group
• Fixed bug in saving configuration choices before transmission

Both the new SmartyCam firmware and SmartyManager software can be downloaded here.

Given the recent stability refinements of the SmartyCam, the SmartyCam is only days away from being released in North America. Shortly thereafter, the remarkable list of additional SmartyCam features will be added.

The, yet to be officially released in the US, SmartyCam has some updates available as well. New firmware and new software.

The SmartyCam firmware rolls to v1.00.12, which builds upon stability of the v1.00.10 just before it. Version 1.00.10 seems to have completely done away with any lockups of the SmartyCam LCD. This new version corrects the h.264 header information that allows for videos to be cut anywhere without the need to retain the first two frames.

SmartyManager, the software for previewing a mounted camera, and configuring the graphical elements on the resulting SmartyCam video, has been reved to version 1.01.02 and addresses the following issues:

• Fixed bug in new upper bound values and level indicator
• Improved custom logo and its preview
• Single combo for unit measure to set boundary and value
• Fixed bug when exiting application during on-lin preview, SmartyCam now returns to normal state

Both the new SmartyCam firmware and SmartyManager software can be downloaded here.

Given the recent stability refinements of the SmartyCam, the SmartyCam is only days away from being released in North America. Shortly thereafter, the remarkable list of additional SmartyCam features will be added.
