Videoguys' Insider Vol 6 Issue 8: Major breaking news from IBC and our vendors

This past week the IBC exhibition and trade show took place in Amsterdam. Think of this as the NAB show for Europe. While we did not attend the show, many of our vendors were there and they had major new products to introduce, as well as software upgrades, new promotions and sneak peaks at future technology.
In this issue of the Videoguys’ Insider we’re going to bring you up to date with what’s new from our vendors.

Videoguys (a DVInfo.net sponsor) is offering Edius Broadcast bundled by Canopus with Rev Pro (a hard drive storage system) for the normal Edius Broadcast price of $ 995. Since the Rev Pro unit normally retails for $ 495, this is a great deal ! Also, Videoguys has extended their 5 % off coupon until March 2007, making this and even better deal. I am not associated with this vendor in any way, but I placed my order today. Just for info ...

[Mark Williams]

This is a really good deal. However, I believe you won't see much "realtime" unless you also get the NX card. Edius 4 pro plus the NX card is $1450 but you don't have the DVCPRO50 or PVCPROHD codecs. I'd like to see a package price on Edius Broadcast plus the NX card w/o the rev drive. Videoguys, any chance of this?

Regards,

We are working with Canopus / Grass valley on a deluxe Edius NX bundle that would include Edius Broadcast. Hopefully we'll have something in early January

TURBO CHARGE Your Professional SD & HD Editing with the Adobe Production Studio Premium & Matrox RT.X2

Matrox RT.X2 & Adobe Production Studio Premium Now Only $2,495.00

The more realtime performance your editing system provides, the more time you can spend creating, not rendering. If you edit with Adobe Premiere Pro software alone, applying a filter, transition or effect with more than one layer of video may require rendering. Combine the Adobe Production Studio Premium with the Matrox RT.X2 and turbo-charge your system with these features and more:

• Realtime editing of HDV 1080i & 720p (including JVC ProHD at 50 and 59.94 fps)
• Play back Multi-Layer DV & HDV timelines in real-time - even mixed timelines with HDV & SD!
• View complex HDV timelines that do require rendering up to 10 times faster!
• Preview your HD timeline via the component output of the RT.X2 Breakout Box or on an inexpensive HD monitor with the DVI output of the RT.X2 board
• Export to DVD and other multimedia formats 2.5x to 4x faster than with software alone!


ATTN Adobe Premiere, After Effects & Photoshop Owners:
Upgrade & Save $300 More!
For a limited time only upgrade from any version of Adobe Premiere or Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects or Adobe Photoshop to this complete bundle with Adobe Production Studio Premium and Matrox RT.X2 Hardware plus FREE Training DVD from Class On Demand
