Four versatile windows for fast access to all Final Cut Pro features

Viewer NON-LINEAR The Viewer is analogous to a source monitor. Use it to watch individual video clips, mark edit points and apply effects. You can also load clips from the current sequence into the Viewer to refine details such as edits, effects and audio volume.

Viewer tabs contain controls for changing settings for dif- ferent properties of a clip Video Tab: View, locate and mark video frames, as well as set In and Out points and keyframes. Audio Tab: View the audio waveform channels and has controls to change level and pan or spread settings. Set In and Out points, markers and keyframes for audio clips here.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 SONY ES-3 EDITSTATION Non-Linear Digital Video Editing System Consisting of a PCI capture board, a breakout box, control panel and Sony’s user-friendly editing software, the ES-3 easily connects to a proper- ly configured PC and professional A/V hard drive to offer an extremely flexible and powerful non-linear sys- tem for video editing and multime- dia productions. NON-LINEAR It features versatile editing func- tions and an easy-to-use OS so you can focus on creating your video. In addition to it’s own special effects and titler, it has an open software architecture that supports popular third-party plug- ins for graphics, paint and 3D effects. For speed and editing efficiency the ES-3 utilizes Sony’s ClipLink picture index system. ClipLink operation allows for shot logging in the field and transfers the clip information directly to the ES-3’s GUI. And by incorporating i.LINK (standard) and optional QSDI(SDTI) interfaces, the ES-3 works with DV and DVCAM VCRs to deliver virtually lossless picture quality, even after multiple generations. Low cost and high performance

814 make the ES-3 ideal for a variety of editing applications.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 DPS DPSREALITY Studio Digital Disk Recorder (SDDR) Whether you are a 3-D animator, modeler, compositor, 2D artist or broadcast graphic designer—dpsReality is just the tool you need to help get the job done. Compatible with dozens of applications including Alias Maya, Newtek Lightwave 6 and Discrete Logic 3DStudio Max, dpsReality is a Studio Digital Disk Recorder (SDDR) designed to take advantage of DPS' latest real-time hardware technology. NON-LINEAR Sharing your work with others is a key facet of the dpsReality. Using the built in QuickTime or AVI export will allow you to move your project between different platforms, or allow you to export your project for viewing on the web. You can even create highly compressed QuickTime or AVI clips that can be e-mailed

816 to co-workers or distributed on CD-ROM. Sharing your work is not limited to QuickTime and AVI export. One of the most powerful features of dpsReality is its Virtual Tape File System or VTFS. The VTFS acts like a mini server, allowing others to access your video and alpha channel data remotely from other machines. Not only can they access the data, they can do so in one of nine different file formats. That’s where the Virtual part comes in to play. The VTFS virtualizes the data that is stored on the dedicated SCSI disks. It displays not only video data as .dps files, it also displays that same data in nine different file formats without using any additional storage. VTFS also eliminates the conversion process. You can render directly to the file system, and the VTFS driver will auto- matically convert your rendered frames directly into video so you can go from rendering to output directly. And because the dpsReality supports 4:2:2:4 video plus alpha channel you can render with full alpha channel support.

Used Equipment Bought, Sold and Traded DPS DPSREALITY VTFS: One file stored = 9 file formats One of the most powerful features of dpsReality is the Virtual Tape File System or VTFS. The VTFS is a bit of software magic that makes the dpsReality the most productive solution avail- able for animation and compositing. The Virtual Tape File System eliminates a large portion of your production bottleneck by allowing your machines to move data back and forth between image sequences and live video NON-LINEAR seamlessly, without any drivers or application specific software. Imagine a special server that would automatically make your image data available in every popular image format simultane- ously. Save an image as a Targa (.TGA) and it would be automatically converted into a playable video stream, as well as a TIF, SGI, PIC, BMP file — in real time. This means that each soft- ware application can access individual frames of image data in their own native format. If you software works natively with SGI files, no problem, read the data from the SGI folder. If your VTFS makes each frame of video simultaneously avail- software would rather work with .TGA files, that is no problem either, simply open the .TGA able in nine different file formats: SGI, TGA, BMP, PIC, folder to read and write frames in that format. TIF, IFF, VPB, RAS and RLA. Now imagine that storing all of this data didn’t cost you one bit of additional space on your server. This is the Virtual in VTFS. Every time you save a file to the VTFS it is automatically converted to video and nine different virtual file formats: SGI, TGA, BMP, TIF, etc. But there is really only one type of file stored on the actual hard disks, which is a DPS video file. In addition, VTFS also adds support for more sophisticated operations, like network rendering, playback while rendering, and full alpha channel support so you never have to worry about productivity, file conversion, or losing your alpha channel data. VTFS makes dpsReality the most powerful and flexible SDDR architecture available. 817 DIGITAL FUSION DFX Compositing and Effects Software Bundled with dpsReality is Eyeon software’s Digital Fusion DFX. An advanced reso- lution independent compositing and effects software, DFX lets you easily add a pro- fessional finish to your 3D productions and video sequences. Multiprocessor speed and highly interactive controls give you instant feedback on the look of the final product. DFX is actually a copy of Eyeon’s award-winning Digital Fusion software — but without plug-in support (upgrade is available). With DFX you can go from con- cept to final production with the same speed, precision, and productivity as with the full Digital Fusion. Additional features include rotoscoping tools, video hardware sup- port, effects tools, warp tools, timeline and spline animation control. Major know that the key to getting that professional looking production is to render all the 3D elements into separate layers. DFX uses both flow and timeline layouts to help you visualize your layers, making it easy to explore editorial decisions. By keeping the 3D elements separated DFX lets you easily make changes to individ- ual layers—so you don’t have to re-render an entire sequence just to add some color correction to the background element. Of course DFX directly supports the dpsReality so you can instantly review your production in full broadcast quality. No AVI files, no dropped frames. Simply render directly to dpsReality in either compressed or uncompressed video modes and see exactly how your final production will appear when you output to tape.

Only three things are certain in life... death, taxes, and faster computers. NewTek's revolutionary Lucas Code technology allows the Video Toaster to evolve at the speed of processor technology. NewTek has always known that computers would continue to get faster and faster. So, several years ago, their engineers began working on a system that required a computer that was not even built yet. NewTek's philosophy is to use the computer's processor, not bulky, proprietary expansion systems or non-expandable video cards that are sure to be outdated as soon as the silicon is pressed. Just imagine what will be possible next year, or the year after that, or the year after that...! With the Video Toaster, increased functionality is just a software upgrade away. Your investment won't be lost to future innovations.

DV Editing Package for More about miroINSTANT Video... Windows 95/98NT miroINSTANT Video is a playback module for Adobe Premiere that greatly enhances the production process by reducing rendering time and disk space usage. NON-LINEAR However, to truly understand its benefits, it is important to first understand how the rendering process works without it. Make Movie - Surrender to render!

After assembling a project on the timeline in Adobe Premiere, the work must be "rendered" or saved. This is done using the "Make Movie" menu command. Make Movie takes the entire project (made up of .avi files, transitions and titles) and saves them together, frame by frame, as a new single .avi file. Besides being painfully slow, sometimes taking hours to render a project, this poses three major problems: A step-up from the miroVideo DV200 1. There is a 2GB .avi file size limit in Windows. Since Make Movie saves each project as one large .avi file, this would mean that the entire project could only (previous page), the DV300 offers all the be 2GB in size.

MPEG-2 Video IPP Editing and IBP Delivery MPEG-2 compression is a video industry standard designed specifically for moving video. It provides incredible quality while offering uni- versal acceptance and robustness for the most demanding digital video editing and video delivery applications. Used for broadcast video delivery and DVD authoring, MPEG-2 is now available to everyone on the DC1000 and DVD1000. The unique “Intra-frame” and “Inter-framing predication” format of MPEG-2 allows them to deliver superior video quality at much lower data bandwidths and storage requirements than other formats. MPEG-2 video efficiency has created such innovations as digital video streaming, CD-ROM video distri- bution and DVD. When working with MPEG-2 video there are basically three forms of compression that can be used. These are I-Frame only, IPP, and IBP. 841 I- frame Only MPEG-2: The video captured and edited on the DC1000 and the DVD1000 I-Frame only MPEG-2 is older technology that does not take is full bandwidth 4:2:2 YUV true color ITU.R 601 specification for advantage of true MPEG-2 efficient compression techniques.

Corporate Accounts Are Welcome PINNACLE SYSTEMS DVD-1000 Minerva Impression DVD— Bundled Interactive Video Authoring Software for DVD The DVD-1000 includes everything the DC-1000 has plus it adds Minerva NON-LINEAR Impression—the next generation in DVD authoring. A complete software-only DVD authoring solution, Minerva Impression enables creative professionals to add interac- tivity to their video assets using an intuitive timeline paradigm—a natural to their non-linear video editing environment. The entire interactive project can be viewed using a timeline interface displaying menus, stills, and audio/video assets. Menus and still images developed in Photoshop can be exported to Minerva Impression with a simple mouse click. Compressed video clips can be easily linked to graphic menu screens. Embedded real-time simulation provides immediate feedback on the work in progress. Once the project is complete and all assets are in MPEG for- mats, users can create a DVD disc image and then emulate the title before burning it to DVD-R or backing it up to DLT tape. In the absence of a high quality MPEG encoder or DVD recorder, projects created with Minerva

Impression can be delivered to a service bureau, where the proxy video files are replaced with professionally encod- 843 ed MPEG files. The project can then be burned onto a DVD-R disc or backed up to DLT tape for duplication.

We Ship Worldwide MATROX DIGISUITE • DIGISUITE LE DigiTools: Editing applications typically provide capture and print-to-tape utilities to transfer video to and from the computer.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 MATROX DIGISUITE DTV Realtime Editing Platform for Digital Television The DigiSuite DTV card combines the award-winning DigiSuite realtime editing engine with support for the complete range of compression formats (DV, DV50 and MPEG-2), as well as audio and video I/O, and connectivity interfaces that are required for digital television. Functionally the same as the DigiSuite and DigiSuite LE, the DTV offers the same analog composite, S-Video and analog inputs/outputs. It also accepts optional DV and SDI cards as well as the realtime 3D effects card. The main difference is this: The DigiSuite and DigiSuite LE only work in M-JPEG. Even when they are used with the DV option cards and DV sources, they will still convert the DV signal to M-JPEG. DigiSuite DTV on the other hand only works in native DV and MPEG-2. So when you import DV signals you can choose to work in native DV format or in MPEG-2 (I-frame). Even if you are working with analog sources like component signals, DTV will still convert them to either DV or NON-LINEAR MPEG-2. Being native DV and MPEG-2 gives DTV other benefits. It can accept an optional SDI/SDTI interface card for faster than realtime digital video transfer, and can output MPEG-2 files for DVD authoring.

Same as DigiSuite and DigiSuite LE except:

VIRTUAL SETS Trinity Virtual Sets allow the combination of live actors and 3D computer graph- ics to generate super realistic digital sets in real-time. Virtual sets integrate Trinity’s switcher, chroma keyer and Warp Engine to create photo-realistic artificial environ- ments with real-time environmental reflections and refractions. These scenes include semi-transparent shadows, environmental reflections, refractions, shadows, light sources and virtual camera pan, scan and zoom. When standing in a Trinity virtual set an actor can be refracted through glass, obscured by foreground objects or have a real-time reflection mapped onto surfaces. In addition an actor's shadow can be mixed seamlessly with the synthetic background. Now anyone can create the illu- sion of shooting in exotic locations, as well as on dramatic imaginary sets that would be impossible to actually construct.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 HOLLYWOOD FX HOLLYWOOD FX 3D Effects Software for Macintosh, Windows 95/NT Hollywood FX (HFX) is a professional 3D digital effects system that works as a plug-in to your non-linear video editor, or stand-alone. Easy-to-use, HFX provides incredible 3D transitions and effects with complete control for video, film, publishing, Web and multimedia. Now you can get effects that look like they were created using dedicated hardware sys- tems—software rendered—for thousands of dollars less. Available for Macintosh and Windows 95/NT based systems, HFX is a complete library of true 3D transitions and effects. A snap to use within your non-linear editor, just drag and drop the HFX icon into your timeline like you would any other transition. The FX Selection Dialog will appear, letting you select an FX. An immediate preview is provided so you see exactly what you'll get.

NON-LINEAR Hollywood FX (HFX) Bronze Perfect for the video editor on a budget Hollywood FX Bronze includes 50 customizable 3D effects for Adobe Premier, Adobe After Effects, in- sync Speed Razor and Ulead MediaStudio Pro.

Hollywood FX contains a variety of effects including morphing 3D objects, and real-world objects which can't be found in other packages. Based on an open, modular 3D architecture it’s design allows for new effects to be added at any time, and allows for different 3D rendering engines to be plugged-in in the future that take advantage of any new technologies that appear. Other products often use simulated 3D, rather than the true 3D polygon rendering with calculated lighting, shadows, motion blur, and spline based paths. Other products only include a fraction of the effects that come with Hollywood FX, and those effects are not nearly as customizable as Hollywood FX. Hollywood FX includes plug-ins for all popular non-linear editors and paint programs in one package. You don't have to purchase separate packages for each editor.

After Effects is also resolution independent (up to 4000 x 4000 pixels) so its the ideal design tool for film and video producers, graphic designers, multimedia professionals and Web developers. Produce stunning special effects for broadcast, film, video, mul- timedia, and on-line production right from your desktop. Create anima- tions for openers, bumpers, on-air promos, commercials, music videos, titles, games, and more. NON-LINEAR When compositing, After Effects produces results that meet the most exact- ing standards. Control layers with stunning precision. Combine unlimited layers of moving and still images. Produce sophisticated audio and visual effects with more than 75 effects plug-ins. Create adjustment layers to apply effects to multiple layers simultaneously. Add any number of keyframes, animate and apply special effects to each layer, and adjust those layers until the composite looks and moves exactly as you want. Enjoy precise control over every aspect of your composite—from sub-pixel position- ing to controlling the shape and velocity of each animation path. Use the new RAM Preview function to check how com- 894 positions play back—in real time. Only when you are totally satisfied do you output a project for final delivery.

Available in Two Versions: After Effects comes in two versions: The Standard version delivers the core tool set for compositing, 2D animation, and special effects. The Production Bundle version offers the same, plus a powerful set of motion control, keying, and special effects packs that can greatly increase your productivity. For example, distort images with exacting creative control using the Bezier Warp, Mesh Warp, and Reshape effects. The Production Bundle offers advanced support for motion tracking and stabilization. It has special effects such as Corner Pin, Bulge and Lightning .It generates high-quality mattes. For precise keying, it is equipped with a Color Difference key and Spill Suppressor among others. Production Bundle extends the core power of the standard version with even more features for performing and achieving limitless special effects. It provides the precision tools you need to produce top-quality output that meet and surpasses, the most exacting professional standards.

Available for Macintosh and Windows 98/NT, After Effects is tightly integrated with the Adobe product family, so if you work with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, you already have the skills, shortcut know-how, and hardware you need to make Adobe After Effects a seamless, powerful extension of your creative arsenal. When you import Photoshop files, After Effects preserves layers, alpha channels, and transfer modes—you can then animate each Photoshop layer over time. Imported Illustrator files remain in vector format until you output your final composition, so you can scale these graphics to any size while maintaining the crisp detail of the original artwork. After Effects and Premiere can each import the other’s movies.

By taking advantage of the affordability of RAM, Commotion DV loads as much of a clip as possible into assigned memory, and offers several ways to fit it in the way you want it. You can choose a smaller (in area), but longer (in time) clip by scaling the whole clip down or by only selecting a specific area to edit. You’re limited to working only on the sec- tion of the clip that is currently loaded into RAM, but there are many ways to cycle through more frames or parts of frames when you’re ready. When you render, the full frames are restored (as long as you haven’t scaled the clip or reduced colors), so this provides no ultimate limitations of time or size. It also accommodates people would want to use the software to print directly to video, and so it contains the option to play back full-screen, or against black, with leading and trailing frames and comments in the black area.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 DIGIEFFECTS CINELOOK Film Simulator Plug-in for Adobe Effects Cinelook is a revolutionary tool that takes any video, , film- scan or photo and allows you to add grain, correct color and add film artifacts like dust, scratches, stains, hair and more. Cinelook is designed for video producers who needs to match video footage or 3D animation with film footage or to get that "film look” by adding film-grain to video or computer and cel animation. It can also reduce film grain to better integrate scenes in film production. Cinelook allows you to take any video footage (S- VHS, Hi-8, Betacam SP, DV) and make it look like film by emulating all of the popular film-stocks and performing advanced color correction. It uses the enhanced timing con- trols in After Effects to convert 30 fps footage to 24 fps in

NON-LINEAR order to simulate 35mm and 16mm film, and 12 fps for 8mm film. This process in known as "inverse-telecine" and is integral to achieving the "film look”. CineLook uses several other tech- nologies, including StockMatch, which adds grain to the RGB channels separately, Chromamatch, its color matching and correction system, and TimeMatch its advanced time matching system. (Much more sophisticated than After Effects, TimeMatch allows CineLook to create a softer, more filmic appearance to video footage than what can be achieved by AE.). Cinelook is available in two versions, Broadcast and Film Res. Broadcast is limited to a resolution of 768 x 576 pixels (D1). The Film Res ver- sion adds a de-grain filter, a hardware key and works up to 4K by 4K resolution.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 NEWTEK LIGHTWAVE [6] 3D Animation, Modeling and Rendering Software Explosive ideas that test the boundaries of 3D animation deserve a program that can realize them in exciting new ways. Creating worlds that no one's ever seen. Creatures that have never walked the Earth. Special effects, games, web sites - all creations that exist only in your mind. Until now...... The culmination of over ten years of development, LightWave [6] advances the state-of-the-art in professional 3D animation by adding a comprehensive set of groundbreaking character animation tools, advanced rendering capa- bilities, a new and improved architecture and a refined work environment. The three traditional areas of 3D, modeling, animating and rendering, have received massive enhancements in the new software. Among the thou- sands of changes in this completely redesigned system, LightWave [6] boasts real-time subdivision surfaces as a modeling and animation tool, radiosity, caustics, 160-bit floating-point rendering, a hybrid Inverse/Forward NON-LINEAR Kinematics engine and new character-animation technologies: LightWave, the recognized leader in the film and television industry, provides the most complete feature set of any 3D animation tool available—one of the reasons you can find LightWave 3D in more Hollywood animation suites than any other 3D program. And , LightWave [6] is the only 3D software system to run on Macintosh, Windows NT, Alpha and SGI.

MODEL: 916

LightWave [6] introduces a new modeling paradigm. Now, you can take advantage of the software's completely interactive toolset to do real-time sub-division surface modeling with point weights; control UV mapping with infinite layering; use orthogonal and perspective view modeling ports for greater flexibility in the modeling process; and achieve direct control over polygons, vertices and patches. Users of LightWave [6] have unprecedented control over the surfaces of animated objects. The soft- ware offers infinite layers of projection; procedural, gra- dient and UV maps, and these layers can feed into each other for texture blending and manipulation. Animatable surface attributes include all general surface settings and can be linked to other items in the scene. One of the most exciting new surfacing tools is the Gradient layers, which can be added to a texture. These gradient ramps can be used to change a surface attribute with inputs such as incidence angle, light incidence, distance to another object or the height of the bump, to name a few. New translucency and glossiness mapping capabilities expand the options for animators of complex and realis- tic scenes, while content management tools (e.g., filters and comments) simplify the animation of large projects.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1•800•947•9901 PLAY ELECTRICIMAGE UNIVERSE EI Universe Modeler The Universe 3D Modeler can create anything from spaceships and automobiles to creatures and aliens – and everything in between. It is a solid/NURBs surface hybrid, capable of building and manipulating models as solids (having volume) and surfaces (outer shells). Unlike other 3D modeling products that are created for the architect or engineer, the Universe Modeler is designed for 3D animators of all kinds. The intuitive interface, extensive tool set, materials editor, still image NON-LINEAR rendering engine, and easy to use NURBS technology can easily accommodate the most demanding project. Building upon the ACIS Geometry Engine from Spatial Technology – the industry standard solid model- ing engine, the Universe Modeler adds an incredible array of surfacing tools, and makes the distinction between the tools transparent to you by building a fast, intuitive and platform independent user environment. With all the power of heavy-duty industrial design programs, yet incorporating and easy to use interface geared towards the artistic user, the modeling process far more approachable than ever before. 922

Why a RAID system for video editing? Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks ➤ The data transfer rate of a single disk drive is simply not fast (RAID) Level 0 enough for reliable, good quality video. RAID's have higher RAID Level 0 also known as "data striping" is a technique used to transfer rates suitable for high quality video capture and playback. increase the read/write performance of a storage system by spreading ➤ A largest capacity PC disk drive like 9GB can accommodate a video data across multiple physical disk drives. Digital video editing appli- NON-LINEAR file of between 20-40 minutes depending on the quality required. A cations require disk systems that are capable of sustaining very high small RAID system can easily double this length, allowing continu- data transfer rates. The VideoRaid unit "stripes" data across two/four ous video files of between 40-80 minutes in length. physical disk drives which effectively doubles/quadruples the transfer rate of a single drive (read/write operations can happen in parallel). ➤ The data rate of a single disk drive is not consistent over the entire surface of the disk and is dependent on the amount of RAID Level 0 and Medea's proprietary Zone Stripe Technology data stored on the drive. Data rates drop (as much as 40%) as which guarantees a minimum, consistent rate across the entire array video is written to the inner tracks of the disk drive. Medea’s and enables the VideoRaid family of products to easily out perform proprietary Zone Striped Technology (ZST) ensures a consis- single disk drives and other disk array systems. By making several tently high data transfer rate as the drives in the array fill up drives appear as a single drive, RAID 0 allows you to overcome the with video. physical size limitation of a single drive.

Next to your video capture board, video storage is the most critical component in any desk- top video editing system. You need a storage device that will consistently deliver uninterrupt- ed audio/video capture and playback performance. Now you might be tempted to integrate video storage yourself. However, you will have to contend with the delay and frustration of 935 working around the unexpected dropout zones of your disk(s) and slower performance on the inner disk tracks. The solution? Entrust your storage to a solution engineered and manu- factured to rigorous, no-compromise specifications. Medea engineered the VideoRaid SCSI family of disk arrays with a clear understanding of the subtleties of disk drives. Utilizing proprietary ZST technology, Medea converts "off-the-shelf" data processing disk drives into integrated video storage that leaves nothing to chance. No drives to test and replace; no software to load; or stripe-sets to configure, everything has been taken care of.

Calculation of Video Storage Capacity in Minutes Most high quality desktop video capture boards are capable of capturing 720 x 480 video pixels per video frame. Since the frame rate is 29.97 frames/second and there are 2 fields/frame we get a data rate for uncompressed video equal to: 720 X 480 X 29.97 X 2 = 20,715,264 pixels per second or 20.7 MB/second If we compress this video at 5:1 we get a data rate equal to: 20.7 divided by 5 = 4.14 MB/second or 248.4 MB/minute. Therefore, VideoRaid 2/50 scsi can hold 5000 MB divided by 248.4 = 201 minutes of video or 3 hours 21 minutes
