Canto, a global leader in Digital Asset Management solutions, announced that Cumulus HELIOS Companion 1.0.1 is immediately available. Cumulus HELIOS Companion will automatically synchronize Cumulus catalogs and HELIOS EtherShare and PC Share volumes when users store new files or make changes to existing files in the HELIOS file system, thus maintaining a familiar user workflow and eliminating the need for manual cataloging. Cumulus HELIOS Companion is compatible with the Cumulus Workgroup and Enterprise Edition.

Cumulus HELIOS Companion 1.0.1 is a service update to the previous version. It will be offered with an improved ICC Profile support, so that users can choose the ICC Profiles in the HELIOS environment from a list while converting assets, for example, into other formats. Another innovation is the possibility to define the compression quality.

Furthermore, the new version is compatible with HELIOS Service Controller for centrally starting, stopping and monitoring all HELIOS services and also includes enhanced protocol functionalities, a more powerful and more stable synchronization functionality and improved EPS format support.

Cumulus HELIOS Companion 1.0.1 is immediately available. Updates and demo versions can be downloaded from the Canto website
