Troi Automatisering releases Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.9b0 for FileMaker Pro 10
New beta plug-in for FileMaker Pro 10 adds powerful image and movie
capture functions.
June 9th, 2009, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi
Automatisering today released Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.9b0 for
FileMaker Pro 10.
What is Troi Grabber Plug-in?
Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.9b0 is a very powerful tool for grabbing
images from a video input source and putting them directly into a
FileMaker container field. All from within FileMaker Pro 10 you can:
- preview the image stream from the video input source
- crop pictures to grab only the desired part of the video image
- rotate pictures before grabbing
- 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
- 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
Peter Baanen, company president, states: "We had a lot of requests
for reviving our famous Troi Grabber plug-in. Today we are happy to
be releasing a completely rewritten version for FileMaker Pro 10. We
also managed to add support for QTKit technology, providing for a
great user experience!"
New Features
Troi Grabber Plug-in 1.9b0 adds these new functions and features:
- The plug-in is now compatible with FileMaker Pro 9 and 10 (older
versions of FileMaker are not supported).
- Converted to the function API of FileMaker Pro 7. It is now also a
Universal plug-in which runs natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs.
- Added support for the QTKit framework. This technology allows you
to grab images and movies in a separate window.
- Converted the 'classic' grabbing functions to work with FileMaker 9
and 10: with this technology the preview is still shown inside the
FileMaker window itself.
- The new version makes use of the extended possibilities of the
FileMaker Pro 7 API. For example the grabbed images, instead of using
the clipboard, are now returned as a binary type, allowing for easy
setting into a container field.
- Added new Grabber_VersionAutoUpdate function. The
Grabber_VersionAutoUpdate function is part of an emerging standard
for FileMaker plug-ins of third party vendors of plug-ins.
- Clear and updated example databases to get you started quickly.
- All these features also work in a runtime solution.
Suggested Uses
- a webcam database
- time lapse pictures
- festival-, meeting- or conference registration database with pictures
- making ID badges for schools and universities
- medical database with pictures of the patients' condition
- easy recording of auditions or casting
- security database
- capture a movie and log the scenes and timecodes
The possibilities are virtually limitless when using the Troi Grabber
Plug-in. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what
you can do with it!
