CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, Illinois—November 14, 2006—Fidelity Media has announced a major new software release, MegaSeg 4.0, available for immediate download at www.megaseg.com. MegaSeg, the premier Pro DJ and radio automation software for the Mac, is now a Universal Binary running natively on both Intel and PowerPC-based Macs, and includes over 100 additional improvements and new features.
Along with Universal Binary support, OS X Tiger users of MegaSeg 4.0 will appreciate tight iTunes and Spotlight search technology integration, allowing for faster playlist access and iTunes importing. For multi-system installations, syncing library data across local networks is now possible via the new Bonjour/ZeroConf networking support.
The overall interface is a major advance for the MegaSeg 4.0 release, both in terms of customization options and overall system responsiveness. Users may deselect unnecessary interface features to customize and simplify their experience for greater ease of use. Among other enhancements are a robust set of color coding options, and new library display options, including hierarchical folder tree navigation.
The professional VJ will find much to love in MegaSeg 4.0. This upgrade includes a much-requested Ambient Video Playlist feature for continuous video output. This new video playlist will automatically display videos, Flash animations, or still images when audio only tracks play in the main playlist.
Radio stations and mobile DJs alike will appreciate software-based mic playthrough support to and from any connected audio device, such as built-in or third-party microphones. MegaSeg 4.0 also features enhanced track looping and pitch-lock features, improvements to Nicecast and SHOUTcast server communication, full MIDI controller support, and a host of other improvements.
MegaSeg 4.0 is now available through Fidelity Media at www.megaseg.com for a suggested retail price of $249 (US). A promotional discount price of $199 is available through January 1st 2007. Owners of older versions can upgrade for $59 (US) through January 1st, and $79 (US) thereafter. Those who purchased MegaSeg on or after July 1st 2006 will receive the upgrade free, and be notified automatically via email. MegaSeg supports all Apple Mac G3, G4, G5, and Intel systems running Mac OS X 10.2 or higher, with a 600 MHz or faster processor, and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM.
MegaSeg is a self-contained DJ mixing and radio automation system which benefits from the ease, mobility, and reliability of Mac computers. MegaSeg enables DJs and radio stations to put their massive music libraries on their Mac and seamlessly segue or beat mix between songs or music videos, trigger sound effects via hot keys, use color coded requests lists, cue tracks on a second output, create dynamic scheduled playlists, and program playlist events. Mobile DJs can use MegaSeg to easily add systems to their growing business, and is a professional solution for anyone who needs more mixing control than Apple’s iTunes or iPods offer. MegaSeg is fully integrated with the iTunes library and playlists, and compatible with songs bought from the iTunes Music Store.
Fidelity Media was founded in 1998 with the vision of simplifying music library management and mixing for mobile DJs, radio stations, and other music related industries. The company’s flagship product, MegaSeg, continues to be a top DJ mixing application on the Macintosh.
