Trakker Technologies Announces Y2K Compliance on All Slingshot Products, Assuring 100% Frame Accuracy for the Next Millenium


    December 16, 1999 (El Segundo, CA) --- Trakker Technologies today announced full Y2K compliance for the Slingshot product line. The results of extensive testing have proven that all products offered by Trakker Technologies will be unaffected by Y2K and will still continue to provide consistent functionality in the future.

    Trakker Technologies is famous for Slingshot, the film matchback solution that allows users to complete a film project using their digital video editing system. Slingshot made its debut on a film for Disney and since has grown to be the most preferred film matchback solution available. Robert Mathieu, Executive Engineer and co-founder of Trakker Technologies, has overseen the testing for Y2K compliance. Testing for Y2K ensures that Trakker will still be able to provide software and products with the same accuracy and cost-efficiency that has helped them to strengthen the independent film market today.

    "As we anticipated, our entire product line has proven to be Y2K compliant," explains Mathieu. "From their inception, our products have been designed and developed to be Y2K-ready, so no retrofitting is required."

    From the very beginning, Trakker Technologies has sought to provide a solution that enables the user to transition from the world of video to the world of film effortlessly and accurately. For this reason, although there are no date sensitivities or dependencies in the software, each product was tested to ensure Trakker customers will be able to continue to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the entire Slingshot product line.

    "We are pleased to announce all our software is fully Y2K compliant," states Barry Silver, President of Trakker Technologies, "and we look forward to offering the same high-caliber service and commitment to the film community well into the next millennium."

    The Slingshot product line consists of Slingshot PRO, Slingshot PLUS, Slingshot PIX, and the newly released Film Cut. Each product has been designed to aid in the postproduction process, specifically in the transfer of video EDLs into Negative Cut lists.
