AV Master is a 32-bit PCI bus master card designed to compress and decompress live video to and from hard
disk. CVBS or S-video signals (PAL, NTSC, SECAM) are compressed in real time (50 or 60 fields per second) with full resolution (4:2:2, 24-bit True Color) using the Motion-JPEG technique. The integrated sound chip digitizes audio in CD quality. Synchronous playback is ensured by locking audio and video. Following the editing process, video can be transferred to VHS or S-video/Hi8 tape. The video can be previewed on an external video monitor or the PC monitor via an overlay card.
Haven't you always wanted to be creative, have fun and make the most of your video investment? With AV Master 2000 now you can!
This is your guarantee that audio and video are edited at the same time and that the original quality of your video is always maintained. AV Master has become the worldwide de facto standard for S-VHS video editing. After all 50,000 AV Master users can't be wrong.
FASTCap - the unique digital video recorder in AV Master 2000
streamlines digital recording and playback. FASTCap seamlessly records
your video to several hard disks. With this capability, AV Master 2000
overcomes the usual recording limit of 2GBAnd there's no playback limits either. With the "Scrubbing" function you can cue to any individual frame of the recorded clip and save it as a .bmp file, e.g. for inclusion in your multimedia project.
You can perform your rough edit with the easy story boarding function.Just put your clips in any order and then play them back for an immediate preview in FASTCap. A thumbnail of the first frame of the clip keeps you organized and forms the basis for productive video editing.
If you have already found the right composition a simple click of the mouse transfers the clips in the defined sequence to the Video Editing program which is included.
AV Master 2000 includes the latest version of the powerful video editing software
Media Studio Pro from Ulead Systems. You'll be turning your clips into a
brilliant video in no time! The clips transferred by FASTCap are now waiting to be edited in the timeline of the Video Editor. Of course, you have the option of changing the order of the clips at any time with a simple drag & drop.
With the comprehensive transition effects library you can be very creative. Regardless of which of the countless transitions or effects you decide to use, you can keep a constant eye on the results with the easy-to-use preview function.
You can even paint your video. With Video Paint you can polish up your scenes with brushes, pens, and erasers. A good video or multimedia presentation always has interesting opening credits and titles. The Cool 3D CG program empowers you to create sophisticated titles with a large variety of fonts, colors, and movements by simply clicking the mouse. Even 3D effects are generated in a flash!
This one-of-a-kind utility saves and renders automatically only those film sequences that differ from the original material, i.e. where transitions, effects, or other manipulations have been added.
This saves time, vast amounts of memory, and, in the end, money. And on that subject... AV Master 2000 also supports the lower-priced E-IDE hard disks saving you even more.
The timeline with over 100 audio tracks in the Video Editor gives you the freedom you need for creative re-recording. The waveform display gives you a clearer picture of voice, music, and noise. Audio effects such as echo, reverberation, and noise reduction add quality to your video. What more could a sound engineer ask for?

Without a doubt, MediaStudio Pro is a winner in the area of usability and ease of use. Much of this
is because MediaStudio Pro follows certain conventions, design and interface elements common to many Windows programs, such as Microsoft Office. Premiere, on the other hand, is distinctly Mac-based, and as such still has a long way to go before being called a true Windows-compatible program. This Mac heritage explains why Premiere has no toolbars or a status bar, and further reinforces its 'menu-hot key' approach to video editing as opposed to the visual 'pick-and-apply' approach of MediaStudio Pro. Premiere does, however, allow users to customize hot keys, but MediaStudio Pro goes one step further by providing a Menu Command Palette where users can customize their commands as well as set a cache area for regularly used commands.Premiere's lack of standardization also means you get no F1 context-sensitive support for menus, and dialog boxes without Help buttons or tabs, all of which are standard fare with MediaStudio Pro and other Office-compatible products. And what about MediaStudio Pro's 99 levels of undo versus Premiere's 1? (When was the last time you saw a program with only 1 level of Undo?) And to top it off, MediaStudio Pro has previews everywhere, including graphical thumbnails for every effect, filter and transition.
For the new user, a program which follows standard conventions and behavior is a big plus as it creates a familiar environment in which to learn, and as such gets people creating and producing faster without any steep learning curves. MediaStudio Pro's graphical approach to video editing also makes it more appealing to visually orientated users, such as the creative types, as opposed to Premiere's process-orientated approach for the more logical left brainer's out there.
9. Wizards
To make MediaStudio Pro even more user-friendly, we designed it with Wizards for creating video projects as well as capturing video. These are the two most important areas of any video project, and ones filled with a host of new terms, concepts and demands that scare many new users. By providing Wizards, MediaStudio Pro has made it clear that we support not just the professional, high-end user, but also the first-time user just getting started in video.
8. air-tight integration
MediaStudio Pro always provides more value for a consumer's dollar than any other program in its class. With this release, MediaStudio Pro adds additional programs and better integration to make the whole MediaStudio Pro experience as seamless as possible. Not only can you access all programs from within each other, all files are dynamically linked, meaning changes in one are immediately updated in the other. Video Editor can also import the raw uncompressed and unrendered work files of Video Paint and CG Infinity directly into a video project. As such you get unmatched quality and crystal clear alpha channeling to produce truly broadcast quality results.
7. 3D moving paths
No video production is ever complete without the use of some sort of moving path. Premiere users can move along in the 2D world, adding in some distortion and perspective, but they never get to dance with the third dimension. MediaStudio Pro users do, as they have since version 2.5! This gives MediaStudio Pro users more tools for being creative, and opens up new avenues where they can truly get the most out of their work.
6. more transitions, filters and effects
Video editors need variety and power. MediaStudio Pro delivers by providing more transitions, filters and effects that Premiere can shake a stick at. You get over 110 transitions alone, complete with Direct 3D powered transitions such as flying cubes and fold-a-ways – the kind of transitions that Premiere relies on its plug-in vendors to provide. With MediaStudio Pro you get it all – and we don't ask you to go and buy additional tools to get the job done. MediaStudio Pro also allows you to customize every aspect of a transition, filter or effect's behavior, and save those for future use. You can even change the default settings so that they always apply the same way each and every time. All of which is absolutely essential for working consistently across projects!
5. better data rate control
For those users creating video for the Internet or CD-ROM, data rate is everything. Too high and you'll drop frames. Both Premiere and MediaStudio Pro provide a way to analyze your files to take a look inside and see what your data rate is. While Premiere is happy to just let you look, MediaStudio Pro allows you to actually tweak the keyframes of your compression scheme. You can add and remove keyframes anywhere within the video and when done, create a Keyframe file which you load into Video Editor for the next render. This time the video follows the keyframe settings that you specify, not those of some arbitrary compression scheme, giving you better quality at lower data rates.
4. vectorscope and waveform monitors
MediaStudio Pro now provides a built-in vectorscope and waveform monitor. These are particularly important to professional videographers as they allow them to properly calibrate their video to their PC, ensuring optimum color reproduction and fidelity. Without them, it is next to impossible to try and correct the color differences between the recorded video and that which is eventually digitized. As for Premiere, they have nothing.
3. keyframe controls
MediaStudio Pro now incorporates keyframe control over every aspect of a filter, transition, effect, moving path or compression scheme. What this means is that users can directly change, edit and control the behavior of each frame within a clip, on a frame by frame basis, rather than clip by clip as Premiere does. For example, when you want a particular filter or transition to be applied differently over a clip, you don't need to create multiple clips for each change, just specify keyframes within the clip itself.
2. Smart Render
Smart Render is a milestone in non-linear desktop video editing as it finally brings the performance and quality found in expensive high-end systems to the desktop. It works on the premise of 'changes-only' rendering, so that when a user previews a project or creates a final video sequence, MediaStudio Pro only renders those portions of the project different from the original file. This not only saves time but also ensures quality as unchanged clips do not undergo any unnecessary compression. Premiere comes close to MediaStudio Pro's Smart Render, but its only good for as long as you keep your file open. Once closed your previews are history. That's fine if you never need to go back in an edit your work. But as we all know, no job is ever finished, and changes, tweaks and edits are a natural part of the design process, all of which make MediaStudio Pro the professional's choice.
1. MediaStudio Pro gives you all this plus a dedicated video painting tool, and a dedicated character generator, and it costs less! What else can we say. To better appreciate these new tools, see the answers below.
What is CG Infinity?
CG Infinity is a dedicated character generator that is designed specifically for one thing and one thing only - creating great looking titles. These can be anything from the starting and ending credits of a video, to call-outs, graphical frames, borders or spinning logos that appear anywhere within a video sequence. The key to CG Infinity is that it is entirely vector-based, and therefore resolution independent, allowing for the best possible playback quality. It also uses bezier curves for objects and moving paths and comes with a variety of unique gradients and textures to provide broadcast quality effects.What is Video Paint?
Video Paint is a dedicated video painting (rotoscoping) program that is designed for painting, retouching and cloning over the frames of a video. Video Paint's tools are generally found in much more expensive editing packages and can be thought of as image editing on steroids. Using Video Paint users can create animated sequences such as laser beams and lightening bolts, remove background noise such as boom mikes and telephone lines, and enhance and color correct any feature from any frame in any video. And users can do this the hard way, frame by frame, or the easy way with PowerDuplication and macro recording.
