IBC Amsterdam : September 9, 2010... In keeping with their new commitment to provide the world's fastest compositing system, eyeon Software announced today the release of a comprehensive development environment aptly named Fusion Developer®.

With the much-anticipated release of their latest Software Development Kit, eyeon reaches hundreds of industry partners and developers simultaneously worldwide with a new development environment for their award-winning compositing program, eyeon Fusion®. Fusion Developer delivers innumerable possibilities for imaging and 3D development far beyond the scope of Fusion-centric development, as this new offering provides access to creating technologies for supercomputing OpenCL and GPU acceleration.

"We anticipate that many others will also soon adopt this direction. With the likes of ILM and other major companies now coding for the GPU, we have seen a major shift in the understanding of the benefits of hardware-accelerated software. Uncharted Territory recently clocked 10 seconds per frame on shots that once took over 120 minutes per frame, benchmarking significant improvements in their workflow!"
