Data 100 Non-Linear editor is very cost effective!
Here is the description from their 10-k report:
Media 100 is fundamentally an analog and digital conversion
system, like Data Translation's earlier products, that enables users
to capture video and audio into a Macintosh, perform random-access
("nonlinear") video editing and audio mixing, and directly produce a
finished program with broadcast quality picture and compact disc
quality sound. By combining high output quality with simple user
operation, Media 100 targets a large market of video program
producers, including nonbroadcast users, such as advertising
agencies, independent producers, businesses, law firms,
universities, governments and hospitals. The Company is targeting
this growing corporate and institutional market which includes
new users in addition to existing users of production video
equipment. By eliminating the need to use comparatively complex
and expensive mechanical videotape equipment to make a video,
Media 100 empowers these individuals to compose finished videos
largely on their own at relatively low cost.
In August 1995, the Company introduced version 2.5 of Media 100
which incorporates a board that is compatible with the Peripheral
Component Interconnect ("PCI") standard. This board, named Vincent
(TM), is the first such board in the digital media market to be
compatible with the newly introduced PCI-based Power Macintosh
computers, as well as PCI-based personal computers using Intel
microprocessors, such as Pentium, and Microsoft Windows. |
