Serious Magic Taking Pre-Orders for DV Rack Pro Video Software
July 22, 2004
Folsom, CA - Serious Magic, Inc. is taking pre-orders for its new DV Rack, an integrated software suite of professional video monitoring, evaluation and digital video recording tools.
First announced at NAB, and as reported on www.weva.com Industry News (click here to read announcement) , DV Rack is software that runs on a PC or laptop connected to a DV camera. From a digital video recorder to an automated quality monitoring tool, DV Rack includes ten video components in a “virtual rack” that precisely emulate traditional video gear at a fraction of the cost, weight and complexity.
DV Rack’s software components effectively replace thousands of dollars worth of monitoring and evaluation equipment typically found in a production truck with a fully automated, integrated and entirely native DV solution, the manufacturer describes. DV Rack includes a professional monitor, digital video recorder, vectorscope, waveform monitor, audio spectrum analyzer, video analyzer, digital still frame grabber, shot timer and an automated quality monitoring tool, which evaluates every frame of video and audio for you while you shoot and alerts you of potential problems. With DV Rack, producers can interactively scrub to any point in the video clips right after they are recorded, then zoom in, underscan the image, check audio levels, adds notes, check brightness and saturation and much more --all before going back to the edit suite.
DV Rack is expected to be available in the first week of August, 2004. Pre-orders received by the manufacturer before July 31, 2004, are priced at $395.
The product has an announced MSRP of $495.00.
