Re-read it mac it reads (specific contract information outside of the company)
not (arrangements outside the company)so it's anyones guess :)Like this bit
though 'Further significant contracts will be announced at the earliest opportunity.' ;)

scotty: arrangements outside the company probably means
only snaptv get the money for that,

Pierre Oreilly...lol....No, it was once they got their house in order....you old cynic.
Currently flapping about on low volume, no doubt those with an urge to see them fail will ignore the opportunity...such is the way of the bb's.

When did this good feeling start Sewill? Was it about the time you stopped deramping this at every opportunity and then switched to ramping it by any chance?

What a coincidence!

All the product, marketing and sales elements are meshing nicely now. Just a case of a bit of patience for the results to flow through. Had a good feeling about this one but must say am impressed by the speed they are moving at.

ok just sussed out what the Pre-Press Regionalisation tool is about. Hadn't heard the term used before but apparently it is the process whereby digital media is converted to graphic design for printing. This has been hinted at by ZOOtech in their description of their menu Regionalisation tool:

"The Regionalization Tool is ZOOtech's first product designed specifically for workflow improvements in conventional video production. This tool automates the previously manual process of creating assets, such as DVD menus, artwork, packaging, in alternative languages and has been shown in independent customer benchmarks to reduce time and labor cost by 75 to 90%."

So it looks like the Video Production version of Menu Regionalisation Tool is for Video output ie DVD menus etc., and the new "Pre-Press" Regionalisation tool is a progression of that technology for regionalisation of printed media such as artwork and packaging. Looks like a nifty way of building on the existing technology and pulling in some extra revenues, hence the "total solutions" strapline we keep seeing from ZOOtech in recent weeks.

if you look it up on google
one of the results is quality assurance on delivery,
another is training solutions,
but there are other results that differ,

by the way zoo bought out another patent in january,

go to



and then click on ZOOtech's new advertising banner on right hand side. that will take you to new ZOOtech microsite which shows ZOOtech's four production tools:

* TAS for "Multi-platform automated authoring"
* Regionalisation Tool for "regionalisation of video titles"
* DVDExtra Studio for "interactive dvd games"
* Pre-Press for "pre-press regionalisation"

perhaps macca could post the microsite image ....

where did you read about it Aph'?

[artey] 09/5/2007 09:45

Was that a pig in the sky I just saw?

[aphzombie] 09/5/2007 07:48

not sure what it is macc, just that it is a new tool in addition to the existing Menu Regionalisation utility that it has already been licensing to Disney et al. Maybe ZOOtech will enlighten us in the near future ...

[macca28] 09/5/2007 01:35

aph: nice one, is it blu ray?

[aphzombie] 08/5/2007 22:44

Anyone know what ZOOtech's new "Pre-Press Regionalisation Tool" is (in addition to their existing Video Production Regionalisation tool) ??

[scotty1] 08/5/2007 12:04

[macca28] 08/5/2007 11:38

where do you look?

[scotty1] 08/5/2007 11:25

Just looked on armshare site and I see they've removed link for old
brokers note,so could be new one any time,should make good/interesting
reading.Don't leave it to long folks ;))

[siwel100] 08/5/2007 08:49

macca...Its an odd one. If an iDVD was created using ZOO's software then a download should count against royalties. I imagine it must be in the license agreement somewhere but how they measure/charge I have no idea. I expect that if/when this side develops then they will pay a lot more attention to it....possibly fixed fee or charge per 1,000's of downloads.

[macca28] 07/5/2007 22:47

does any one think zoo might get royalties for this?
