Announcing TrueEditor™, the Visual Click and Drag 3D Video Editor for TrueVision® Surgical Content

Surgeons benefit from full featured and efficient 3D video editing tool

BOSTON (April 9, 2010) — TrueVision® 3D Surgical, the leader in 3D visualization for microsurgery, announced the release of TrueEditor™ , the visual, click and drag editor for 3D video content recorded using the TrueVision® 3D visualization system for microsurgery. TrueVision® enables surgeons to perform surgery in 3D via a heads-up 1080p display of the surgical field, freeing them from the traditional microscope oculars.

Surgeons, residents and operating room staff can view what traditionally only one or two surgeons could observe through the microscope. Ideal for training and education, the system features the ability to record and playback 3D video of surgical procedures.

TrueEditor™ enables the surgeon to quickly and easily edit their 3D video content to generate 3D HD presentations for playback at conferences, lectures, and seminars. TrueVision® 3D video allows viewers to see surgery as if they were performing the surgery themselves through the microscope. TrueVision® visualization systems are also used for streaming video, broadcasting live procedures, proctoring, and surgical education in 3D.

The 3D medium has been shown to increase test scores by 35 percent over 2D for learning human anatomy, according to recent studies by Texas Instruments, reinforcing the market for tools with the ability to work with stereoscopic video.

“With the advent of 3D as a mainstream communications medium there is a growing demand for easy-to-use editing tools for 3D video. The commercial tools available to users are far too complex and expensive to be practical.” said Forrest Fleming, TrueVision CEO. “Since TrueVision® has a leading role in the evolution of 3D, we answered the needs of our users by developing the TrueEditor™ to enable our users to easily edit 3D video content.”

TrueEditor™ Features

• Edits 3D video from TrueVision® (raw or compressed)
• Multiple file formats; mix and match images, AVI, MOV and MPEG-2 files
• Convert between file formats and into 2D
• Intuitive graphical user interface; click and drag video and images
• Video transitions; fade, dissolve
• Text overlay
• Fast rendering
• One-Click assemble editing
• Final preview (know how long the video is before rendering the edits)
• Output to PowerPoint
