- Digital-Video Editing System for Professional-Quality Video Production
-
- Get the features and performance you need for professional-quality video
- production on the Macintosh® with the DigitalFilm™ card from SuperMac.
- DigitalFilm is the only QuickTime™ video production system that lets you
- capture full-screen video and stereo sound to an ordinary Macintosh hard disk
- at 30 frames per second and output directly to a videotape recorder at the same
- rate.
-
- It’s a complete, on-line digital video editing system — in a single slot. And
- it comes with an integrated video-editing application — Adobe Premiere™ 2.0!
-
- DigitalFilm is ideal for corporate communications departments that want to
- bring video production in house. It’s the next step in storyboarding for ad
- agencies trying to help clients better visualize ad concepts. And it’s a way
- for broadcast producers to refine preproduction concepts right on the desktop,
- reducing the time and the money ordinarily spent in a professional editing
- suite.
-
- REAL-TIME VIDEO CAPTURE
- DigitalFilm captures full-motion video and audio to disk at broadcast-video
- frame rates: 30 frames per second for NTSC or 25 frames per second for PAL.
- What’s more, your recording occurs in real time — while you watch. That means
- a minute of video and audio takes just a minute to capture. Simultaneous with
- video recording, DigitalFilm automatically digitizes stereo audio input,
- synchronizing it to your video.
-
- LARGEST VIDEO WINDOWS
- DigitalFilm also shows you more of your movie; it’s NTSC and PAL compatible,
- supporting video windows up to 640 x 480 or 768 x 576 pixels in size. And its
- S-video compatibility means you can work with higher-resolution source video
- for better quality results.
-
- •INTEGRAL TOP-SPEED GRAPHICS
- DigitalFilm also features the award-winning technology introduced in SuperMac’s
- Thunder ™ line of accelerated graphics products. That means integral
- workstation-class, 24-bit accelerated graphics on displays up to 17 inches.
- With 17 inches of workspace, you have room to develop full PAL- or NTSC-size
- videos, design photorealistic graphics, and see other windows and tools without
- adding a second display.
-
- RECORDING OPTIONS FOR PROS
- With DigitalFilm’s non-linear random access, you get immediate, independent
- access to every frame as you assemble a video production. You also get
- direct-to-disk, integrated hardware-accelerated JPEG compression. At 24:1
- compression, for example, you get the “visually lossless” quality you need to
- record your production to videotape. And for comping ad storyboards or
- broadcast video concepts, you can go as high as 50:1. An on-board encoder,
- designed to preserve the optimum color integrity of your video, lets you
- conveniently record a finished production to videotape.
-
- COMPLETE EDITING SYSTEM
- Because it fully supports Apple’s QuickTime standard, DigitalFilm works with
- your choice of QuickTime-compatible editing and effects packages and produces
- files that can be integrated with animation, graphics, and effects from any
- other QuickTime-aware product. The industry’s leading digital-video editing
- application, Adobe Premiere 2.0, is also bundled at no additional cost. Adobe
- Premiere 2.0 makes it easy to assemble QuickTime productions, select and manage
- input from multiple sources, apply professional effects and transitions, and
- mix audio. It also produces edit decision lists and provides the SMPTE
- time-code support for professional on-line and off-line editing.
-
- FROM DIGITAL VIDEO’S LEADER
- Part of a family of award-winning digital-video products from SuperMac,
- DigitalFilm delivers the kind of features and quality previously found in
- editing systems priced at $80,000 or more. It’s an all-in-one-solution for
- the professional in post-production, independent design, and corporate
- videomaking at a desktop price.
