We are pleased to announce the release of the new Mason IP Control Surface.

Designed specifically to meet the demands of high-volume DVD proofing workflows, the Control Surface is a USB accessory which connects to the Mason IP, and puts all the Mason’s functions at your command. Featuring high quality full-stroke keys, the Control Surface is built to stand up to continuous use and hundreds of thousands of key presses.

The key layout has been carefully refined to put the most commonly-used commands in easy reach. Whether you are checking complex projects with multiple subtitle and audio streams, or verifying navigation on an intricately structured disc, the Control Surface can help you make short work of it.

We have released the latest MasonIP firmware, Version 1.0d. That’s right, we’re at a full point release now, which means all functions and operations are complete and functioning. Please contact our support department in order to get the latest firmware update. Their email address is wiredtech at wiredinc dot com.

Ah…..finally a new firmware release directed towards the IT department.

Because the MasonIP player connects directly up to your corporate network structure, we have added more technical control over accessing your data servers. Server Domains are now supported, along with complete manual entry of server mount commands. This allows you to setup your MasonIP to access any server on your network, regardless of how it is configured. (more…)

After a long and productive career, the industry-leading MediaPress MPEG encoder line has been retired. We are sad to see it go, but the reality of today’s production environments, where tape is going the way of the dodo and even an average desktop computer can do realtime MPEG-2 compression in software, means there’s simply not much demand for a realtime hardware encoder.

We will, of course, continue to provide service to the thousands of MediaPress cards out there.

We’ve just posted an updated version of the MasonIP User Guide. It covers installation, setup and operation, as well as the new features added with the latest firmware update.

It’s a 2MB PDF file that you can download here.
