Hi Gary, Please send me a copy of the DTV Handbook. Thanks! Gary Meyer
Please call David Gilmore or Larry Vance at 314-364-4925 about testing.
Sorry I was kinda late on that…I was in Las Vegas for 10 days without time to check the board. Gary Meyer
TAO's Editizer has optional software for single frame recording from animation programs. Should work OK with the JVC Edit Desk VCR, BR-S800. Gary Meyer TAO Media Systems
Bill, I believe the FAST product you are speaking of in this price range is the Video Machine Lite. VM Lite is a good product for what it's intended to do. But you cannot put your program out from that system to an EDL (Edit Decision List), which means you…
The BR-S800 recorder fills requirements which may affect animation recording: * Insert capability * Capstan Servo *bumping* * Time code reading/control * +/- 0 frame accuracy with TAO's Editizer when synced correctly Perhaps we could get some additional comments from others who may be reading this.

Pat, I'm marketing director for TAO Media Systems. I find that many people are helped through dialog with our staff about questions they need answered before buy a product. As marketing director I see this activity as crucial to TAO's sales work, although it would not be fair to call…
Bill, You can: 1) ask me on line here, so others can also learn from it 2) call me at 310-455-1711 3) call TAO at 1-800-TAO-EDIT (826-3348) Tech questions won't be answerable during NAB week–though Carol at our Missouri office does know what cable kits you'll need. Tomorrow–Thurs–is the last…

Bill, Brian Field is no longer with Pro Video–you can just call the 800 number and either ask for John or speak with anyone who answers. Gary TAO Media Systems
>eating paper messages< Sounds like your diet must have thinned a bit since you started using email. Yes, you get 3 cables of your choice with the Editizer. Not all dealers remember this, so if there's any question, just ask them to talk to TAO in Missouri. Pro Video Sales…
I don't know how I got out of it–guess I met up with some poor lawyerly role models early on. I was trying to figure out the legality of writing a book which consists mostly of excerpts from other books–about a paragraph from each–and gives full credit to author, publisher,…
Paul, I've recently looked into Fair Use laws at the local library. Seems like what you're describing falls within fair use based on allowance for parody, even if you didn't alter the logo. However, the parody sections are written specifically in relation to musical works. Also, a large part of…
Bill, Did you get the reply I posted to your question? I thought it should have been posted here for others to read. Let me know, please. I'll re-post if you didn't get it. Gary Meyer TAO Media Systems
$299 for 850 MB? Does this place sell mail order? I haven't heard of The Wiz. Got a phone number?
Yes, I agree the quality is certainly happening for many users. Next on the chopping block–the price of hard drives.
THanks John, that helps me to keep up with what folks are doing at various levels. I have to admit I deal mostly with pro-level stuff which is much easier to solve integration issues with as you can imagine, so I find your situation instructive. GM
Feel free to ask any questions you didn't get answered a couple of weeks ago. What types of productions are you likely to be doing as you start using your system, whatever it turns out to be? I'm always interested in what people are planning to do with non-linear. G.…

The only 3rd party controller I know of that offers serial control of the MX-1 from within the editor's software is TAO's Editizer. 16,000 event EDL, each event with a different MX-1 setting–when you auto assemble, Editizer sets up MX-1 with settings you gave it for each event. G. Meyer…
(I'm Gary Meyer with TAO Media Systems) TAO has begun shipping a JVC direct 12-pin interface with our Editizer AB roll controller. You can dial into JVC's ProFax system and request document #366–it will send you a fax of all the details in a few minutes. The ProFax number is…

I agree with John Jordan that tape is still the format for weddings, and I disagree with John Small–non-linear is not practical for such a lengthy productions.
Pinnacle Alladin
Message #4201
Posted by Gary Meyer, TAO Media Systems: What does anyone think about the various editor manufacturers' interfaces to Alladin? Anything anyone does or doesn't like about them? I haven't done a lot of study of TAO's competitors on this and would find discussion on it helpful. One feature I'm aware…

John, My name is Gary Meyer; I am marketing director for TAO Media Systems. If I may add a suggestion: TAO Media Systems has Editizer software for controlling VISCA in AB roll setup–this software also lets you control the Videonics MX-1 from the editing controller. You can store the MX-1…
