Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, March 13th, 2002–Troi Automatisering
today announced the release of the beta version of Troi Grabber Plug-in
1.4b1, for FileMaker Pro 4.0 through 5.5.

What is Troi Grabber Plug-in?

Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.4b1 is a very powerful tool for grabbing pictures
from a video input source and putting them directly into a FileMaker
container field. All from within FileMaker you can:

– preview the image stream from the video input source

– crop pictures to grab only the desired part of the video image (Mac OS
and Mac OS X only)

– rotate pictures before grabbing (Mac OS and Mac OS X only)

– grab pictures from a video input source and put them into your FileMaker
database

– record a movie from a video input source for a specified number of
seconds or until the mouse is clicked and save the movie to a specified
file on the hard disk (Mac OS and Mac OS X only)

– get timecodes of a recorded movie; you can get the timecode of the
beginning of the movie, of the end of the movie, the timecode at the
current point in the movie or the duration of the movie in timecode (Mac OS
and Mac OS X only)

Peter Baanen, company president, states: “Movie makers now finally have the
possibility to administer their movies in FileMaker, complete with
timecodes. This opens up a lot of new possibilities!”

Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.4b1 adds these new functions and features:

– tested with FileMaker 5.5 and ported to Mac OS X; the Mac version of the
plug-in is now a so called ‘Super Fat’ plug-in that will run on Mac OS 8, 9

(Mac OS and Mac OS X only)
