Robert Young · April 26th, 2010, 07:48 PM

CS5 should be available within the week.
Is there a date set for release of the Neo v.5 products for Win systems??
Thanks

Saw somewhere someone saying end of May.

I think you might see a reference in this thread:

I believe David said a beta will be out a week after NAB - so any day now.

From the Cineform website

"Announcing Neo Family version 5 with CS5 support and 3D editing

CineForm announces v5 of Neo3D / Neo4K / NeoHD for both Windows and Mac, shipping around May 1. Many new features including CS5 support and 3D editing in Neo4K and NeoHD. All new v4/v5 purchases through May 15 include a pair of Gunnar Optiks RealD-compatible 3D glasses."

Good eye, Marc.
That certainly looks definitive.
Very good to know that Neo 5 will arrive about the same time as CS5 :)

Hope to test a beta before then.

David Taylor · April 27th, 2010, 07:03 PM

A quick update.... Our betas for NeoXX will be available around May 1. If things continue going well perhaps this Friday. There are a few last-minute items we're tracking down as is usually the case with a new major release. We'll appreciate everybody's comments during the beta period. Hopefully we'll declare production later in the week of May 8. At least that's the current plan!

Robert Young · April 27th, 2010, 07:25 PM

Thanks David.
You guys are on it!!!

Can't wait!

David Dwyer · April 30th, 2010, 05:45 AM

Well I've just downloaded CS5 and now to wait for v5 of NeoHD.

Same here. Though I should be eligible for the Neo4k upgrade.

Tom Santopolo · April 30th, 2010, 06:50 AM

Downloading CS5 now - almost done. Wonder if I should uninstall Prospect before I install it?

Brant Gajda · April 30th, 2010, 07:12 AM

Good question. Would also like to know.

This may vary from what Cineform tells you, but IMO you're safest to deactivate and completely uninstall your Cineform product before upgrading. If perchance you end up with a serious problem, especially if you have to wipe or even replace a drive and start over, it'll just make life easier. Other than the method of activation and deactivation needing emails and therefore being a little bit of bother, Cineform stuff uninstalls and installs so quickly it isn't a big deal. Just my end-user opinion.

Well got CS5 installed. Deactivated and installed latest version of ProspectHD. No presets are available, but the NLE sync works with FirstLight just fine.
