MegaSeg is a professional DJ and broadcast automation system for audio and video mixing and music scheduling. The program, designed specifically for Mac OS X, enables seamless transitions between songs and videos, triggering of sound effects via hot keys, cueing tracks on a second output, and more, according to the company.

New in MegaSeg 5.5 is a revamped Wave Viewer with trackpad beat-syncing and scrubbing, which the company says allows for easier visual beat mixing and cueing. The feature works with MacBook trackpads as well as the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.

Data Display Audio Visual will showcase seismic data interpretation software displayed in high resolution with vivid colour on Christie MicroTiles in Halliburton's booth at SEG 2010, reports Exhibitor Online.

With higher resolution, the company says Christie MicroTiles offers more pixels and a greater, detailed analysis of data, leveraging the strengths of both rear projection and LED technology.

Christie MicroTiles is said to produce a virtually seamless canvas with an unlimited number of super-fine pixels.
