IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ASSIMILATE announced today new v8 versions of its SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab software to allow encoding of Apple ProRes files on Microsoft Windows 7/8-based PCs. The SCRATCH data-centric DI system is the most comprehensive, end-to-end cinema and broadcast imaging tool.

Both products are available immediately.
Santa Clara, California - ASSIMILATE, the industry's leading provider of DI and dailies digital workflow tools, announced today new v8 versions of its popular SCRATCH(R) and SCRATCH Lab(R) software, allowing users to encode Apple ProRes files on Microsoft Windows 7/8-based PCs.

SCRATCH and SCRATCH Lab v8 (including ProRes encoding for Windows 7/8) are available immediately.
"Apple ProRes has become a de facto format in the industry for feature film, episodic television and documentary production," said Steve Bannerman VP of Marketing at ASSIMILATE. "Windows users of professional media and entertainment solutions have typically had to rely on substandard encoding solutions. Quality often suffered and render speeds were painfully slow. ASSIMILATE now delivers best-in-class cross-platform functionality to our customers with officially licensed and certified ProRes, ensuring consistency in workflow and providing an industry-standard deliverable to both Mac and Windows users."

Slidercrash - New puzzle-game with 60 fresh and mind-boggling levels - Published on 03/27/14
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Indie developer, Joachim Mertens introduces Slidercrash 1.0 for iOS, a challenging puzzle-game with 60 levels, retro-graphics and unlockable songs. Combine Sliders of the same color on a carefully designed retro playing-field. But the devil is in the details. Mirrors and rails redirect the Sliders, walls and rocks stop them, minds or the abyss let them meet their maker. Slidercrash is made for mathematicians and people who want to be like them - and who are looking for the next brainteaser.
Hilden, Germany - Independent developer, Joachim Mertens, is pleased to announce the release of Slidercrash, a challenging puzzle-game with 60 levels, retro-graphics and unlockable songs. Combine Sliders of the same color on a carefully designed retro playing-field. But the devil is in the details. Mirrors and rails redirect the Sliders, walls and rocks stop them, minds or the abyss let them meet their maker. And then there are the other Sliders...
The whole world of puzzlegames is under siege of boring f2p-games. The whole world of puzzlegames? No, a small team of game developers from Germany offers resistance against the hordes of barren games that are nothing more than occupational therapy. Instead, they challenge the brain. Do you really want to know if you are ready to solve next-gen-puzzles? We dare you to give Slidercrash a try.
We are proud of having developed a true mental exercise. On the first glance, it looks so easy: Slider of the same color must be brought together. But the true malice of the playing field is only revealed after numerous attempts. Like skinning an onion, the next perfidy is uncovered by the last.
Slidercrash is not made for babies who just wish to move colorful sweets back and forth. Slidercrash is made for professional mathematicians and people who want to be like them - and who are looking for the next brainteaser. Go ahead, be brave. Like we didn't warn you.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 47.8 MB
Pricing and availability:
Slidercrash 1.0 is now available on the Apple App Store in the Games category for free.
