About Virtual Katy Products
Virtual Katy offers three products for the audio post market: VK Conformer, VK2 and VK CNA. VK Conformer is Virtual Katy’s auto conform work horse. Designed for the sole purpose of non-destructively conforming and recompiling Pro Tools sessions, VK Conformer is cut from the original battle-hardened Virtual Katy software which was put to the test on Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. VK Conformer is available on the Virtual Katy web site (www.virtualkaty.com) and through the Virtual Katy reseller channel for $395.00USD. Digidesign special promotion offers VK Conformer free of charge with all purchases of Pro Tools|HD® and DV ToolKit 2™ (effective May 1, 2006).

VK2 is the ultimate change management tool. A quantum leap ahead of its peers in processing speed, version tracking and comparison engine techniques, VK2 users can analyze all major formats, preview changes, trace historical elements, rebalance movies, and process up to 2500 picture edits in less than a second. Packaged with all of the features VK2 is available on the Virtual Katy web site (www.virtualkaty.com) and through the Virtual Katy reseller channel for $995.00USD.

VK CNA is the auto-conform and change management solution for audio post; video and film. A marriage of the legendary Change Note Assistant technology with the award-winning VK change management platform, the new VK CNA product offers all of the VK2 feature and functionality combined with the Change Note Assistant algorithms, and support for AAF. VK CNA is available through the Virtual Katy dealers and on the Virtual Katy web site for $1495.00 USD.
