To everyone: – Can anyone please recommend me professional desktop HI-8 hardware to be used with DPS PAR and TBC-IV for video/animation processing (recording and editing). My budget is limited to my personal account so I am looking for the most cost effective solution. The hardware is to be used not only for recording the PAR output but also for adding subtitles created in RASOR to existing video (A/B-ROLL editing?). – Do anyone know some shops in US (including second-hand) specializing on video equipment that I can contact by mail/voice/fax that is available from outside US. – Have anybody heard about reasonably priced high-end digital PAL/SECAM/NTSC converter. Thanks a lot –Igor

Dear Mr. Ejelev, We are excited about the future of Desktop Video and want to assure you of our commitment to offering the highest quality products for computer assisted video production. You will find that for the low MediaPhile System price of $295, you will receive everything you need to integrate your equipment into a coordinated video production suite. The MediaPhile System Includes the Following Three Items : 1. MediaEditor 4.0 Program Disks and Manuals – This three disk set includes the MediaEditor edit-decision-list program, the MediaController transport control program, and the TCGEN time code generator program. MediaEditor performs automated edits with most prosumer and industrial decks. Features include an intuitive graphical interface, preview, insert, assembly, special effects including A-B roll dissolves, wipes, title, overlays, synchronized audio, and accurate time code tape positioning. Device control is from MediaPhile, Video Director, VISCA, VBOX, Future Video, Nucleus and other controllers. Interfaces for Toaster and Panasonic switchers, and the Supergen genlock provide convenient special effects programming. 2. MediaPhile Prosumer Controller – This unit provides control over one camcorder or video deck player and a recorder. The player must be equipped with a Sony LANCS or CTL-L port. Control of players with Panasonic CTL-M ports will be made available as an upgrade in the future. Recorders are controlled with infrared or through their S, swap or comp-u-link ports. A GPI switch output is used to control video switchers. The unit also has a time code input for advanced users who want to read linear time code from a player deck audio track. Each controller interfaces one player and one recorder deck. Use additional controllers for more than one player. They plug into any computer serial port. 3. MediaPhile Infrared Controller – This unit sends infrared remote control commands from your computer to video decks, camcorders, laser and compact disk players, and other devices. It is designed for use with other edit controllers to provide fully multitasking control. Commands for most devices are included with the MediaEditor software, others can be learned from your remote control. This unit plugs into the IR port of the MediaPhile Prosumer controller above. *************** $295 *** For Complete MediaPhile System Above ****** ********************************************************************** The following MediaPhile products listed below are for Industrial or advanced users.

Use additional controllers for more than one deck. $95 Some industrial decks, like the Panasonic AG-5700 and JVC BR-S605U, have standards RS-232 serial ports and require only a cable to interface to the computer. Custom serial and Sony VISCA cables can be ordered for your deck from Interactive MicroSystems. They are priced at $45 each.
