VuWall is looking to partner with people on the front line of the fight against Covid-19 with a free visualisation tool to manage the huge amount of information theyre presented with.

Paul Vander Plaetse, CEO at VuWall, said: "In this time of crisis, coordination teams within municipalities, newsrooms, and healthcare facilities are actively monitoring the Covid-19 pandemic and managing response efforts. These decision-makers need to access all kinds of information in order to make fast decisions and share information with their colleagues and in some cases, the public.

We hope that by offering our VuWall2 for no cost as a way to create a temporary emergency video wall control centre, we can aid key organisations in managing this influx of data and help keep people informed. We want to assist as many organisations as possible, which is why we will be offering first come, first served setup and support."

VuWall2 software grants access to and integrates visual information from many different sources on one screen, including web pages, computers on the network, IP cameras, local applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.), as well as collaboration and video conferencing tools (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, etc.).

It can be set up on a PC or as a make-shift videowall with up to four displays. Operators can arrange the content sources in any configuration they need for better visualisation and run a ticker for emergency messaging. In addition, they can quickly create various layouts, save them, and recall them as the situation changes.

VuWall says it takes about an hour to set up a video wall by installing VuWall2 on the PC driving the display(s), which can then be controlled from any computer on the network.

VuWall offers free software to teams battling Covid-19 - InAVate

In a time of great uncertainty for most of us, it has been nice to see such an outpouring of support from our favorite music manufacturers. About a week ago, companies likeKorg, IK Multimedia, and many others began offering products for free over the coming months. Whereas others such as Arturia, offered some of its higher-priced items at a massive discount. Now, it seems Avid is next to join the ranks, and is offering free 90-day licenses to current active, professional users. These licenses will be available for Media Composer, Pro Tools, and Sibelius.

Since the news began to break of the COVID-19 virus arrival to the U.S., many who use Avid software began applying pressure to the company for a response in action. Understandably so, as many who work in the entertainment industry regularly were now left without a regular work option for several weeks, at minimum. In a response, Avid states to assist our community in adjusting their workflows to accommodate COVID-19 virus precautions, Avid will make a limited number of temporary licensesavailable to qualified media enterprise and educational institutions at no charge.

From this, we gather that although Avid is offering these free licenses, there are some ground rules and limits to who can access them. First, to qualify, users must already be active users of that software, with active work that must be completed. In other words, if you want a license for Media Composer, and the last time you used it on an active license was several months ago, you likely will not qualify for this freebie. Additionally, professional educators who use these Avid programs will also qualify for this license offer from Avid.

Regardless of qualifications, this is a nice move from Avid in response to the global pandemic. It effectively encourages those to stay home, and to keep working on projects, alleviating all worry, at least for three months, about paying for software with limited work schedules.

Boeing is working to fix a newly discovered problem with software powering up on the 737 Max, adding to the list of tasks the aircraft maker faces to get the grounded plane back in the air.

Boeing said Friday it has told the Federal Aviation Administration about the issue.

We are making necessary updates and working with the FAA on submission of this change, and keeping our customers and suppliers informed, Boeing said in a statement. Our highest priority is ensuring the 737 MAX is safe and meets all regulatory requirements before it returns to service.

A person with knowledge of the situation said the issue concerns software that verifies whether monitors tracking key systems on the plane are working properly.

The monitor check is supposed to happen automatically when the plane or system is powered up, but during a recent review, one of the monitors didnt start up correctly, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a detail that was not announced publicly.

The issue was discovered during a technical review that normally happens near the end of the software-development process, a sign that Boeing could be close to finishing changes designed to get the plane back in the air.

Boeing is rewriting software that played a role in crashes five months apart in Indonesia and Ethiopia that killed 346 people and led regulators to ground the plane worldwide in March 2019.

Boeing still must finish the software package, conduct one or more demonstration flights with FAA experts on board, and bring in airline pilots to test the changes it is making.

Separately on Friday, Fitch Ratings downgraded Boeings debt rating. It cited uncertainty about when the Max will fly again, the challenge of catching up on deliveries that were halted last April, rising debt, and risks posed by fines, lawsuits and a damaged reputation.

Boeing Co. shares fell $7.85, or 2.4%, to close at $324.15.

Moodys Investors Service, which cut Boeing ratings on Dec. 18, signaled this week that another downgrade is possible because of a likely long and costly fight to regain confidence even if the Max returns to service relatively soon.

The Chicago-based company and new CEO David Calhoun are scheduled to report fourth-quarter financial results on Jan. 29. Some analysts, such as Ken Herbert of Canaccord Genuity, expect Boeing to announce a substantial new charge against earnings for the Max crisis.

Now is the time for new CEO Calhoun to get as much bad news out as possible and to provide the company with some additional buffer heading into 2020, Herbert wrote in a note to clients.

Boeing took a $5.6 billion charge in last years second quarter and has disclosed billions more in higher production costs because of the Max.

The grounding has caused Boeing to halt production of the plane, prompted investigations by the Justice Department and Congress, led to lawsuits by the families of passengers in the two crashes, and caused the firing of former CEO Dennis Muilenburg.

The release of internal communications has further damaged Boeings reputation, revealing that test pilots and other key employees had raised safety concerns about the Max. At least two said they wouldnt put their own families on the plane.
