#MacroSystems NEW
Here is a press release from MacroSystem's in Europe announcing their
new U.S. Distributor. Translated from a FAX I received. I thought
everyone would like to read it after the panic that was started with
people claiming the Retina Z3 would never be sold in the States. The
folks in Michigan misinformed me about all this and had no
information about NoahJi's as told below. If you contact NoahJi's
please tell them that you read David's post. Thanks. 🙂

MacroSystem GmbH of Germany Announces
NoahJi's Exclusive United States Distributor
Jorg Sprave, president of MacroSystem GmbH, located in Witten,
Germany, is pleased to announce the appointment of NoahJi's as the
exclusive distributor of MacroSystem product in the United States.
Technical support, repair, and service will be handled by NoahJi's.
Software updates for the V-Lab and the Retina will also be made
available at a modest charge for current owners of these products.
NoahJi's is the Amiga board division of Micro Reps, Inc. a
10-year-old distribution company. Eric Kloor, president of NoahJi's,
is excited to begin distribution of the remarkable line of product
manufactured by MacroSystem GmbH.
The Retina Z3, with updated hardware features and astonishingly fast
software, will soon be impressing the US market. In the current issue
of The Amiga Magazine, Germany's largest, 10 different graphics
boards were reviewed. The Z2 Retina was called "nearly legendary, "
and in price/performance comparisons towered above the others. The
only more impressive board in the tests was the new Retina Z3. Both
products received glowing and strong recommendations.
The Toccata 16 bit I/O board, which has been available in Germany for
over 6 months, will now be available for the US market. The V-Lab Y/C
24 bit realtime video digitizer will also join the product mix of
NoahJi's.
An astounding new product that is currently in production and will be
available here in July is the VLab Motion Card. This card is a Zorro
II motion JPEG board for non-linear video editing and playback. The
VLab Motion product contains a digitizer plus a video output device
with YUV 4:2:2 square pixel quality and embedded hardware scaling and
a genlock with chroma keying for real-time blue box effects as well
as the compression/decompression JPEG chipset which runs at 29.5 Mhz
peak frequency. The board has composite and Y/C inputs and outputs,
and also features an expansion socket for add-ons like piggy packed
YUV or RGB component transcoders, and an interface for outputting
over NewTek's Video Toaster. The V-Lab Motion board does not require
a time based corrector and can be combined with existing hard drives
and controllers. VLab Motion also comes with MovieShop, a complete
editing software package that features a hierarchical editor, B/W or
color reference stamps, and a time line editor. Perfect interfacing
with the Retina and the Toccata allow simultaneous recording and
playback of audio and video.
