Blossom Technologies, Miami, Fla., has introduced the first under $40,000 DVD Mastering System, DaViD(tm) 4000. The Blossom DaViD(tm) 4000 provides a total Windows NT 4.0(tm) DVD mastering solution that establishes a new price point for a wide range of applications in areas such as corporate communications, education, commercial productions, training, video content, archiving, multimedia display stations and much more.
The high-performance DaViD(tm) 4000 is a complete solution for encoding broadcast quality audio/video and mastering DVDs to DLTs or DVD-writers. With the NLE option, DaViD 4000 becomes an intermodal DVD authoring system from Blossom. This gives the user the power and flexibility to capture video, edit the video including transitions, titles and advanced effects, then master the DVD. Add the optional DVD-writer for "one-offs" and no system on the market offers this power or flexibility.
"DaViD 4000 represents a major breakthrough in DVD authoring evolution, both in terms of cost and features," states Alex Amor, President of Blossom Technologies. "As with all Blossom products the DaViD 4000 is totally configured."
DaViD 4000 is the absolute state-of-the-art workstation featuring Pentium II processor, Windows NT 4.0 operating system, built-in high capacity DLT unit, on board DVD playback system, 128MB High speed Ram and a total of 20GB of hard disk space. DVD-MPEG2 encoding is performed by a real time encoder subsystem that provides Composite and Y/C video input.
DaViD 4000 includes a powerful suite of tools to quickly master DVDs. Unpack the system, turn it on, start encoding real time MPEG2. All the authoring tools are included. When the project is complete, simply transfer DVD content via modem, or save it to the optional high-speed DLT unit, or "burn" a DVD with the optional DVD writer. It's that easy and that powerful....DaViD 4000.
With the optional Blossom NLE subsystem, DaViD 4000 becomes the second intermodal DVD mastering system from Blossom Technologies. Imagine the capability of editing video, adding transitions, special effects, filters, titles, animations, and whatever else you can imagine. Create the content right on the DaViD 4000. No need to spend precious and costly time in edit suites.
If you need instant DVDs, the DaViD's optional DVD recorder is available. Ideally suited for quick "one-offs" or when sensitive data must be controlled. DaViD 4000's software supports this valuable feature. DaViD 4000's audio control is beyond superb. Real time Full Standard MPEG-2, MPEG-1 Video/Audio encoding.
Every DaViD workstation includes 8 hours of training at Blossom Technologies. To date, no other manufacturer offers this extraordinary level of service and support.
Blossom's DaViD is the solution for DVD mastering.
DaViD 4000 is priced at $39,999. Blossom Technologies is a leading supplier of Windows NT 4.0 non linear editing workstations and DVD mastering systems. For additional information call 800/334-3122.
