New price for Multicam Logger
As of December 18th, 2012, the price of Multicam Logger is set to USD 3.495 / EUR 2.495.
This is a big step up from the old price and it is not something Softron Media Services usually does. We usually go down in price. The reason is simple to understand and is linked to the good old world of Patent that you all heard about.
We have been contacted recently by a Patent holder saying that Multicam Logger infringed one of its patent. Starting from there, we had 3 choices: reach an agreement, start a long and costly legal battle or kill the product. As we did not want to discontinue such a nice product and by deference to our customers, we have chosen the first option. But this has a cost that we must unfortunately reflect on the price of the product.
We are truly sorry about that, and we sure hope that Multicam Logger will continue to have a great success and you will understand our position.
