Airfoil 3 Soars To Amazing New Heights!
Boston, MA - Rogue Amoeba is thrilled to announce the immediate availability of Airfoil 3, the next major update to the premier AirPort Express extender for Mac OS X. Airfoil has long allowed users to send any audio to the AirPort Express, from media players like RealPlayer and QuickTime to audio web sites like Pandora and Last.fm. After over a year in development, Airfoil 3 provides major new enhancements.
Airfoil 3 lets users transmit any audio to multiple AirPort Express units, providing perfect synchronization between units. Audio can now be played through local computer speakers as well, in sync with remote playback. But that's not all - now any Macintosh can be turned into a virtual AirPort Express, with the complimentary Airfoil Speakers application! Run Airfoil Speakers on any local Mac, and it will appear in Airfoil as a standard output. With one click, audio can be transmitted to Macs around the house, all in sync and with no AirPort Express required. This audio can also be synced this with local playback and playback to AirPort Express units. Airfoil 3 brings audio, everywhere!
Airfoil 3 also provides a second major innovation, in the form of video playback. Because of inherent latencies in the AirPort Express, using Airfoil 2 with a video source resulted in local video that was jarringly out of sync with the remote audio. No longer, however, thanks to the included Airfoil Video Player. Airfoil Video Player handles playing video locally in sync with remote audio, for the perfect viewing experience. Airfoil Video Player supports the most popular video formats, and even features preliminary DVD support. Use Airfoil 3 and Airfoil Video Player to watch video with an AirPort Express for audio output!
Airfoil 3 also offers many other smaller improvements. It now features full Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) support, including Instant Hijack (allowing audio to be pulled from already-running applications). It also brings several interface improvements and simplified preferences, along with many other minor improvements. Rogue Amoeba will be showing Airfoil 3 off at Macworld next week (booth #2738 in the South Hall), but there's no need to wait - Airfoil 3 is immediately available for download, right from rogueamoeba.com.
