Matrox Convert Plus User Story
by: 
 7/04/2011 12:07 PM
The newest tool we have in our bag of tricks is the Matrox Convert DVI Plus. What I thought would be just another scan converter has become a swish army knife to our video needs. The ability to take a raw DVI source signal input and send it out – SDI, Component, and Composite is worth the money. No longer do we have to route the video through multiple pieces of equipment to get it our screens. Read More

Sanity in the FCP X Debacle
by: 
 6/24/2011 4:42 PM
inal Cut Pro is important. It’s important in my life, perhaps in yours, and in many people I know. I get why people are freaking out. I do get it. Apple has made some serious mistakes here. But this isn’t a post about what’s missing out of FCP X, or what’s wrong with it, or why it’s useless to you. I think that the discussion over FCP X online and in the circles of people I talk to has gotten, well, ridiculous. Read More
