Grass Valley Offers REV PRO Giveaway at WEVA Expo 2006
August 17, 2006
Paris and Nevada City, CA - Videographers heading to the WEVA 16th Annual Wedding & Event Video Expo (Aug. 21-24) at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas will have the chance to win one of four REV PRO drives from Grass Valley, a business within Thomson. (Attendees may register to attend WEVA EXPO 2006 on-site at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.) "One Grass Valley REV PRO drive will be given away in a free drawing each day of WEVA EXPO 2006," said Marc Valentin, president of the Grass Valley business within Thomson.
The REV PRO drives and removable media will be demonstrated together with EDIUS Pro v4 editing systems at WEVA EXPO 2006 in the Canopus booth. "This combination offers the perfect workstation for professional videographers," said Valentin.
"Whether you are working with standard definition or high definition video, Grass Valley EDIUS Pro NLE software frees you from the limitations of conventional editing systems, providing a seamless realtime workflow supporting all video acquisition formats, including all DV and HDV cameras," he said. "And, with REV PRO, we deliver true random access -- while reading and writing without losing portability or paying a high price."
REV PRO is a removable 35GB hard disk that delivers dual-stream recording and playback, in video applications, with a sustained data rate of 110Mb/s to support high definition video. Each disk stores over 2 hours of HDV or DV video content.
Nonlinear editors see REV PRO disks as hard drives, so content can be captured directly onto a disk, and both raw footage, edited pieces and all project information can be stored on the same disk. The low cost, removable REV PRO media enables all assets of the project to be saved and archived to a removable disk.
If the content or project needs to be used again, simply insert the disk and all assets are immediately available. This eliminates time-consuming tape-based archival and retrieval systems.
The rugged disk packs are warranted for a million record/erase cycles and accelerated ageing tests show a long-term archival life of more than 30 years. Both desktop (USB 2.0 and FireWire) and internal (ATAPI and SATA) drives are available, compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X. PCs configured with REV PRO drives and Grass Valley EDIUS software is available from Canopus dealers and from the Canopus Web store at canopus.com
Standalone REV PRO drives are also available from the Grass Valley and Canopus authorized dealers at $499.95 (MSRP). 35GB REV PRO disks are available in packs of ten at $67.50 per disk.
