Wageningen, 8 June 2006 - Noldus Information Technology released The Observer XT version 6.1, an important software update of our flagship software product The Observer XT. The update contains new and improved features throughout the package. The ergonomics and efficiency of the coding part was improved and the video editing functionality was revised. New features include smoother integration of external video equipment, such as MPEG encoders or eye tracker videos, and the ability to exchange event logs between workstations in multi-user set-ups. Besides that, a number of suggestions by users and technical improvements – invisible but significant! – were implemented. The update is available for free for all licensed users of The Observer XT from the download section.

The new software means another step forward to for users of The Observer XT. ‘Already with the first release of the product we were able to offer key benefits to our users, such as the use of multiple videos, the import of physiological data, flexible coding, and the import of event data from other sources. Now with the 6.1 update we added even more ease and convenience to the benefits of The Observer XT’, says Rene Bourgonje, marketing manager of Noldus Information Technology. ‘This release is much more than a regular software update release and really makes a big difference in the researcher’s everyday work.’
