Canto Cumulus app for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone/iPad updated

SAN FRANCISCO, USA: Mobile client access to Canto Cumulus improved today with the release of SuduS 2.0 from Canto partner Vitras. Among the app’s new features are the uploading (cataloging) of new files into Cumulus, editing of metadata, access to stored search queries, voice recording, and streaming of videos cataloged in Cumulus.

“SuduS 2.0 adds the final features necessary to make mobile devices fully featured Cumulus clients,” explained Thomas Mockenhaupt, managing director at Vitras. “Cumulus users can now access and work with their Cumulus collections from anywhere.”

Native support for the iPad comes just in time for users to take advantage of the iPad 2, as Mockenhaupt explains.

“Streaming video from Cumulus is particularly nice on the new video hardware inside the iPad 2 and the new Android tablets, and we’re expecting the same from the BlackBerry Playbook when it’s released.”

In addition, iPad users can now add annotations to previews, enabling clients and art directors to relay change requests on-the-go. Voice recording is a new feature mobile users will find particularly useful, says Canto CEO Ulrich Knocke.

“SuduS 2.0 lets me upload files from taxis, airports—anywhere—and I can even record quick voice memos that serve as reminders to me later. This is a great new set of features Vitras has added.”

Users can also download files processed by Cumulus on demand, making it easy to retrieve mobile-friendly versions of high-resolution production files, and even use local viewer apps, like Apple iBooks, to handle cataloged files.

Vitras is a Canto Certified Sales Partner (Platinum), and also publishes the VideoRemixer and SnippiX add-ons for Canto Cumulus.

SuduS 2.0 is available starting at €995 from Vitras. It’s available in Lite, Pro and Corporate versions. Features vary according to edition.
