Cool. We can finally start talking about products and other tangibles. Some points to make before I take the time to analyze where the competition is in these areas: 1) How many of these products are shipping? How many are actually made by Innovacom and not just remarketed from another source (not that critical but speaks to "complete solution" ... how well components are made to work with each other)? 2) Some of the "products" gain little synergy and so Innovacom doesn't automatically win by having more products on display. This is the case for DVD authoring software & hardware system. The only other product this employs is the MPEG-2 encoder chip which we know is not available. Since this is the area I know more about, I will break this part out and give the competitors. If you say Innovacom has an advantage over all the competitors for DVD authoring, you should back it up with reasons. I'll group all broadcast products together when I do my DD. p.s. The Innovacom website is looking better .... looks more professional than previous versions.
