ygboX goes live

If you've never heard of ygboX before, have a look at the articles on my blog at http://anselan.blogspot.com/search/label/ygboX

Even better, see ygboX in action in this video clip available on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/1160074

This video clip has already generated a huge amount of interest from developers and media professionals all over the world. So I decided to release the software. Even better, I've decided to go completely Open Source, because I believe that ygboX will only get better if a community of developers is allowed to use it (in real-world applications) and improve it constantly.

At the moment you will find three different "packages" under the downloads section. (These three applications will hopefully be combined into just one in the near future.)

ygboX Marquee is a digital signage solution, capable of displaying a "playlist" of video clips, live news feed crawlers, and other Quartz Compositions (the possibilities are therefore endless).

ygboX Marquee LE is specifically a multi-screen presentation system, designed to play standalone/looped multi-screen presentations, synchronised across multiple displays and multiple computers.

ygboX Live is a very-much-Alpha application that allows "cued" presentation of multi-screen content, with audio.

ygboX is a multi-screen display solution for Apple Mac. It is powered by Quartz Composer, a visual development environment provided free by Apple with every copy of Mac OS X. Please feel free to contact the original author, Stephen Buchanan, at webtvmaster@gmail.com for instructions on setup and how to get involved in the project.
