Q. What's the "Next Big Thing" in professional video according to New Media Magazine? A. CUBE's DVXpress!!!! newmedia.com C-Cube Microsystems DVXpress We've been talking about the DV revolution for some time now, and the real world is coming back with solid proof. A case in point is the recent art-house hit, The Celebration, which was shot on a Sony DV camcorder. There's no stopping anyone else from buying a couple thousand dollars' worth of equipment and producing something that looks like it cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, one of the final pieces for a complete DV editing solution has been missing for some time: The ability to create transitions between two streams of video in real-time. While EditDV and Premiere 5.0 provide professional interfaces for DV editing, DV still lacks the hardware for real-time editing that top M-JPEG based systems offer. C-Cube Microsystems plans to change that in 1999 with DVXpress, a single chip that's capable of dual-stream DV, dual-stream MPEG for analog capture, real-time mixing of DV and MPEG, and real-time transcode from DV to MPEG. An inexpensive 25Mbps-version of the chip should result in boards that will sell for less than current dual-stream M-JPEG solutions (around $5,000), while a 50Mbps version of the chip will also be available for editing systems that use Panasonic's professional DVCPro50 format. Although no board vendors have formally announced products, several, including Matrox, Pinnacle, and Fast, have publicly endorsed DVXpress. Expect to see boards for dual-stream DV and analog editing over the next few months, which should make DV look better than ever. ======================= The "Next Big Thing" in CD/DVD............. newmedia.com
