Datavideo DN-500: Ultra dependable video recorder for legal depositions
by: 
 3/30/2010 9:02 AM
Legal videographers need to make high quality A/V recordings and archive safety copies of them for 60 to 90 days. Deposition videos are usually recorded and delivered on DVD and backed up to SVHS for failsafe copies. But with the pro video community as a whole moving away from tape as an acquisition or even backup up format, the obsolescence of SVHS tape as well as problematic storage and archiving issues, non-tape back up just makes more sense these days.

In Review: Ikan VX-9 Monitor
by: 
 3/12/2010 4:17 PM
The VX-9 is a plastic-cased LED monitor which has maximum versatility through the inclusion of every possible I/O option. Up to this point, all LED monitors included component video inputs as well as SD options such as composite or S-Video. From that point, users could opt for those standard I/O’s and either SDI or HDMI. The VX-9 includes both SDI and HDMI. Note that there is a single SDI channel both in and out (loop through) while it only accepts HDMI in. Read More

Some Olympic stats.
by: 
 2/16/2010 9:00 AM
The Olympics are in many cases, multiple Superbowls or World Cup events being staged at the same time. What does it take to produce all this?

Well, some stats being passed around on the production reveal it’s a huge undertaking, and I’m sure these stats don’t account for everything because those crews that come in always have to retrofit the stuff built out to “make it work right.” Read More

by: 
 12/22/2009 4:34 PM
Based upon the high quality of images it records, its versatility and its portability, I can offer my highest recommendation for the Convergent Design nanoFlash for anyone who needs footage whose bit rate, color depth and resolution must achieve the most rigid of broadcast standards. And it comes with the assurance of a company who stands behind the product and who seeks every opportunity to add functionality to the product through frequent free firmware updates. Read More
