Technical Specifications
| We use nothing but the highest quality state-of-the-art digital video recording and editing equipment to ensure the best possible results. Our videos are recorded in High Resolution using the Panasonic HVX200 High Definition Video camera, with cutting edge direct-to-disk hi-def recording capability. Our videographers make simultaneous digital hard drive and tape backup recordings in real time as the show progresses using the Firestore FS-100. All video is then redundantly backed up to hard drives each night on-site so that no video streams can be lost prior to editing. |

On return to our editing studio, all data are immediately backed up to an Apple XSAN 15 terabyte Storage Area Network configured as RAID 5 RAID 0 to insure maximum redundancy and data security. Our preferred non-linear editing platform is Final Cut Pro. Compositing is done using Motion, and DVD authoring using DVD Studio Pro. We use Mac Pros configured with both internal RAID arrays, and external fibre channel connections to the XSAN for exquisitely fast editing capability. For website creation we prefer the Adobe Suite products including Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Photoshop and Acrobat. For flash video transcoding we use Episode. |
