MacroSystem's Video RT/HD Offers New HDV Solution
June 03, 2006
Boulder, Co - MacroSystem has released a new conversion box that provides live, full-resolution display of HDV material. Videographers may now efficiently archive, duplicate and view HDV footage, without compromising the resolution through compression and lengthy conversion times.
The Macrosystem HDV RT/HD ($1,999) offers videographers a unique way to work with native HDV material in a studio environment without having to buy a larger HDTV monitor.
As the HDV format battles wages on between Blu-ray and HD DVD, many videographers now need a cost-efficient method for preserving and backing-up HDV footage. According to MacroSystem, Mini-HDV tapes are inefficient, costly and put the footage at risk of degradation (drop-outs).
The company says, that of the current editing systems that display HDV footage, most are limited to playing the footage back in a lower resolution “proxy” version. The Macrosystem High Definition Video RT/HD addresses these concerns, providing videographers with a multi-purpose tool well-suited for HDV environments.
The new solution connects via FireWire in real-time. It enables the full resolution HDV signal to be viewed via either DVI or VGA ports, and it outputs a resolution of up to 1920 X 1200. The new device is compatible with all HDV camcorders, recorders and HDV editing applications. It includes a removable 250GB hard drive, providing up to 30 project partitions and storing up to 23 hours of HDV material.
The HDV Recorder is compatible with all formats: 720p, 1080i, NTSC and PAL and a single hard drive can contain any combination of these formats. For more information go to:
