Newsletter, August 2008
- For almost 11 years we have had a WEB SITE
featuring information about our services, awards
we’ve won, free
utilities & test patterns, technical
tutorials, magazine article reviews, opinions,
links to other interesting sites & lots more. We've had over
38,368 visits to our site & traffic has been picking up a
lot lately as this site has evolved to offer something for everyone.
- January of 2008 we'll be introducing a smaller NiMH battery
belt available in 13.2 &
14.4 Volts at 4.5 Amp/hours.
- In June of 2007, we introduced a new 12
Volt 9.5 Amp/hour NiMH battery pack.
- In October of 2005, we began selling a line of
NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery belts
at 13.2 Volts, at 15 Amp/hours in size.
- In the spring of 2004, we began selling a line of glass matte
lead acid sealed battery
belts for use by video & television producers, camerapersons
& others, to power 12 Volt DC lights, cameras, etc. They are
substantially less expensive than nickel cadmium battery belts
& last nearly as long. They will come in several sizes &
packaging.
- What's Coming To
This Site in the near future.
- Now you can have your video play directly from your web site
using streaming media. With either of our broadcast quality non-linear
suites, we are now able to capture & convert your video to
high quality RealVideo, QuickTime (new Sorenson
3 Pro codec), WMV (Windows Media Video)(formerly
call Advanced Streaming Format) for internet
playback, AVI & MPEG1 for
autorun interactive CDROM or kiosks presentations & MPEG2
for DVD movies. You can now play your video back
from a CD-ROM or hard drive, to your computer screen, without
the need for a VCR/TV. For SAMPLES.
Well over half a million Canadian households already have very
fast internet connections such as cable modem or DSL which are
capable of playing near VHS quality in real-time over the internet.
Consider how this can cut your cost of distribution for your video.
- We do VHS DUPLICATION in the North American
format (NTSC) at VERY COMPETITIVE PRICES. We now have a bank of
9 duplicators for large quantity duplication & can handle
several thousand copies of short length videos. If you need a
video tape transferred to or from another country's standard,
we offer INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS CONVERSION (PAL, SECAM V & H, NTSC,
PAL-N & Pal-M). Colour printing on labels is now available
for your logo.
- Our Digital Processing Systems "Perception Video Recorder
Real-Time" (PVR-RT), is our dual stream non-linear
editing system that does not require any rendering for
most effects, transitions or graphics (real-time). It is also
equipped with the new R3DX hardware for over 200 3D real-time
effects (all customizable). This system uses the new Video Action
RT 6.3 editing software. We fully expect this system to help shorten
the time it takes to edit a video, which should also help reduce
the costs to our clients.
- Our other NON-LINEAR EDITING SUITE uses the
single stream Perception Video Recorder (PVR) with Speed Razor
3.51 editing software. This system is currently at a mature level
& working very well for our clients. Those who have edited
video using non-linear editing have been amazed at how creative
you can get & how flexible it is. Between our two non-linear
editing systems we currently have over 126 Gigabytes of video
hard drive storage.
- We have a bunch of NEW SOFTWARE & HARDWARE
to further enhance your video productions. Items like Title Motion
(animated titles), Digital Fusion POST (Compositing), FilmFX2
(emulates the film look), BORIS special effects & transitions,
Video Action editing software, Sound Forge audio sweetening software,
several paint packages & more.
- We don’t just make promotional & training videos.
TELEVISION PROGRAMMING, DOCUMENTARIES & TV COMMERCIALS
have become a larger part of what we do. If you have a marketable
idea for TV programming or video tape sales, or you want a TV
commercial or infomercial made for your organization, please give
us a call.
- Some organizations can’t justify the cost of a quality
5 - 15 minute promotional video, but they can justify the cost
of MAKING A VIDEO FROM PICTURES & SLIDES
they already have. We now have the equipment to do quality slide
to video, or still picture to video transfers at a fraction of
the cost of a full blown moving video. You can also keep the cost
down by incorporating graphics & animation that you’ve
made on your own computer.
- If you're considering a promotional or training video, ASK
TO SEE SOME OF OUR SAMPLES on such varied topics as tourism,
the environment, welding retrofits, summer camps, veterinary pharmaceuticals,
sewer main construction, personality profiling, military sonar
training, facilities fund-raising, airplane manufacturing, plant
tours, architecture, computer training, teaching seminars, awareness
raising videos and more.
- Check out our samples of Stock
Footage Video.
