SGI "Jaleo"
Message #6556
Jaleo is an SGI software product written by Aurora (part of the Chyron Group). It is primarily a multi-layer compositing package/non-linear editor. I sell the product, so if you would like more info, please e-mail me. I'd be happy to fax you specs or arrange a dem, if you are…

SGI "Jaleo"
Message #5621
Jaleo is a new high end, non-linear editor from Chyron. It has a professional looking interface but, of all things, it doesn't have a character generator. Ah, marketing. Chyron is of course known for their professional CG products. I guess they think they can keep selling their old CG products…

Maybe they meant Galileo (the Indigo class Video IO board). Good day and good light, T. Patrick O'Hara (aka. Lightwriter)
Hi 8 Editing Solutions?
Message #5456
Hi John. I'm probably the only one who is going to suggest buying the EVO-9700. Here are two things to consider: The 9700 offers video insert editing. You won't find this feature on any consumer Hi-8 gear. I've found that this feature alone justifies going with the 9700. You'll have…

I'd appreciate a copy of "The Desk Top Video Handbook" if it would help a newbie get going. My address is 2930 Camino Diablo, #110, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. Thank you: Derek Southern
Sounds like you're heading in a solid direction. I'm not sure I'd pop for the 9700 at the start. The 7000 could be easily resold here if you decide you want more machine. But I don't think you'd need anything else when NLE comes along. I'm settling in for one…
John, Thanks for your response. Perhaps, I didn't clarify. I have the Fast Movie Machine (motion jpeg card – a much cheaper card than the video machine DPR card. I want to use the Flyer to produce higher quality video/more special FX etc than I could using the movie machine…
Thanks for all the help. I think I'll go out and buy the EVS-7000 unless someone tells me that I should pickup the EVO-9700. I can get the 9700 for $3400 used with a offer to sell it back for $3000 from an equipment broker. It has the advantage of…
Michael, Why do you want to use both the Flyer and the FAST to edit the video? If you are thinking that you need to redigitize the Flyer edited video to remain in the digital domain for M-JPEG conversion, and love the Flyer's quality/interface I guess I can see it,…
Current cost for one ImMix storage module is $5800. Includes 2 4gigs for 1 hr. of video and I believe still 500mb for 1 hr. of audio. I am a VideoCube owner. My standard VideoCube looks good, I use it every day for local broadcast work. The new TurboCube looks…

Thanks for the practical answers to my questions. I'm interested in any more information you can provide me on the EVC-1000. Can it be used as a stand alone deck or must it be controlled via a computer interface? Does it have it's own jog shuttle control, and do you…
>Q. What is a Cube Storage of High end Video looking like?… Avid Avr 26 is about 8:00 per gig…AVR 27 up to 30% more!! < not sure on the storage/gig. they sell the arrays in 1hr video/2hr audio, not sure on the cost. sorry. JNJ
Which mother board is that ??? And what is EDO DRAM ?? And whats the bottom line for this board.. will it require a TBC ?? Thanks for any info Bob from The Design Shop..
Your advice and that of others would be welcome. I am planning to develop graphics/other and HI-8 video materials in the Amiga flyer and port it over to our Fast Machine MJPEG card. Then, we want to develop interative presentations using full motion video – delivered from a laptop -…
Please send me information here or fax me at 416-923-5386 MM
Gary— I missed the original thread about your book. As the evangelist for Media 100 (Mac nonlinear video system) I'm interested in what you are doing. May I get a copy/find out more about your publication? –patrick rafter
Jeff, I am trying to say that you can buy a good M-JPEG board for two thousand or so and then use a non real-time MPEG encoder, like XingCD, to create MPEG files as opposed to spending the $15k+ to buy a real time MPEG encoder. For the folks that…
>> if you can keep the quality high on the first encoding [it} isn't a too significant loss>real-time MPEG encoders are $15k+ while a good M-JPEG board is going to be a few grand.

> showing Plum at InfoComm in Dallas 6/15-17 next What is InfoComm? If it's DTV stuff I live very close and would try to go unless it's vendors only. Thanks. -jts
Nice catch, Jeff. Yes, the double encoding to digital format will degrade the quality compared to a straight-through MPEG encoder. However, if you can keep the quality high on the first encoding, it ?probably? isn't a too significant loss and as I understand it, real-time MPEG encoders are $15k+ while…
Hi Gary, Please send me a copy of the DTV Handbook. Thanks! Gary Meyer
John, We carry an excellent overlay card from AVer Media, called the AVer PRO. It is now available with your choice of titling programs. Curtain Call for windows, or Deputy CG for DOS. Both are very good and the complete bundle, including overlay card, is $499. We have a special…
Stan, I recommend you get the Gold Disk Video Director. It is currently on sale for $100. I can think of no better bargain in all off video editing. We also have the AVer overlay cards which can work with VD 2,0 and provide you with superimposed titles and transitions.…
Thanks Tim, Its all slowly starting to make sense now. Thanks again for the info. Regards, John
John: >>Theoretically, once you get the (video) data to a digital form, it can be converted from any format to any format.
Thanks for the advice on the Fuji 221E tape. I'm already using it as my camera master tape.
Would like to suggest FUJI M221E tape. Seems to hold up very well. Your other problems are universal with the HI-8 crowd. Just don't lose the Y/C. Richard Floberg 74001,2744
John, MPEG and M-JPEG are simply to digital compression/encoding formats. Theoretically, once you get the (video) data to a digital form, it can be converted from any format to any format. Now, that said, it does sound like MPEG is going to become the standard for digital video playback via…
#Hi 8 Editing Solutions?

I am trying to set up a practical way to edit my HI 8 tapes to VHS format and add sound ( music & narration). I have bought Video Director 2.0 and have been using my TR-700 as the playback deck. This arrangement is very slow and difficult to find…

Hi Sam Received a flyer from them date 4/27/95 that starts off – "Where's that #$%&~$! video you asked for? – We're tempted to say, "it's all in the software" (ever heard that before?), but we won't". They go on to say that, despite outside pressure, they want the demo…

John: >VideoDirector sells for about $100. And has a suprising lot of capability.< Really? It's down that low? I thought the street price was still around $200–which is STILL a bargain, given what it's capable of… Best, Tim
VideoDirector sells for about $100. And has a suprising lot of capability. -jts

Gary I am in the market for entry level editing controller for a Sony TR-700 Hi 8 camcorder. Would it be possible to get a copy of the book "Desk Top Video Handbook?". Thanks Stan
Thanks for the help John, I think I'm confused between MPEG cards and Video Capture Cards. Is an MPEG card simply for playing Video disks, ie. they don't allow any editing? Do Video Capture Cards produce an AVI file which needs Video for Windows or do you get all the…
I agree that Plum at NAB was vaporware, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. They could be bought by one of the big boys. If so, don't expect the same come on price that Plum was promoted at this NAB. Richard Milner Milner-Fenwick
John, You seem to want a device called an "overlay genlock". This device will allow you to overlay whatever you can get up on your rgb monitor onto an incoming video source and then output the combined signal for recording on video tape. Many of the current "Windows Video Capture…

Hi, I am using a Sony SLV R1000 SVHS as my recorder in a Control L computer controlled environment with a Sony EVS 7000 and a Sony TR 700 camcorder as the two A/B roll players. The computer environment handles the players with the RC time code quite nicely and…
I saw their demo at NAB. All vaporware and talk. They don't have a product to sell. I would be concerned they will be out of business soon.
Has anyone heard anything, pro or con, about the Plum nonlinear digital editor from Interactive Images, Inc.?
