Nomad Storyboard System
Axiotron, in collaboration with Toon Boom, has announced the Nomad Storyboard System, a new hardware and software bundle that combines the Axiotron Modbook tablet with Toon Boom’s Storyboard Pro application. The Nomad Storyboard System provides storyboard developers with a portable tablet that runs Mac OS X and supports stylus input. The system, built from a modified MacBook, is powered by a 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics components, with 2GB of ram and a 160GB hard drive that can be upgraded to a maximum of 500GB.
The Nomad Storyboard System comes complete with built-in WYSIWYG vector-based drawing tools and animation editing functions from Storyboard Pro 1.5. Users can export content to Avid, Premier, and Final Cut Pro. Animation tools include an ink brush, air brush or crayon brush tool, while the tablet enables users to simply draw naturally on the screen.
Axiotron currently offers the Nomad Storyboard System bundle for a limited-time offer of $2,449. Following the introductory period, the price will return to $3,049.
