- Fremont, CA, February 22, 1993 -- SyQuest Technology (SYQT-NASDAQ) and DiVA
- today announced that SyQuest brand 5.25-inch removable hard drive cartridges
- will be preloaded with DiVA’s VideoShop 1.0 SE (SyQuest Edition) free of charge
- in a limited time offer which begins today and runs through April 30, 1993.
- VideoShop, with a suggested retail price of $599, is the leading
- QuickTime-based video editor for creating and editing digital movies on a
- Macintosh. Both of SyQuest’s 44MB and 88MB capacity cartridges, the SQ400 and
- SQ800, will also include Apple’s QuickTime™, VideoShop’s on-line documentation,
- a library of video and sound clips from The Image Bank® CD Collection and the
- SyQuest/SCSI Probe utility.
-
- “Now more than 800,000 SyQuest drive owners can produce QuickTime movies at
- their desktop without any additional hardware or software investment,” said
- Joel Levine, SyQuest’s vice president of marketing. “Typically, start-up costs
- are high in multimedia when video cameras, digitizing boards, CD-ROM drives and
- video and other editing application software are included,” Levine noted.
- “SyQuest is committed to supporting the 5.25-inch removable cartridge standard,
- including developing drives with full backwards compatibility in the higher
- capacities often required in multimedia and digital video applications,” he
- added. “This opportunity with DiVA is another way to add value for our
- customers,” he commented.
-
- “We’re very excited to partner with SyQuest in this promotion because it gives
- both novice and expert Macintosh users an opportunity to experiment with the
- power of digital video, “ said Amy Limb, DiVA’s marketing manager. “Integrating
- video images and creating QuickTime movies is a new experience for a great
- majority of people, so this is a risk-free trial of one of the most creative
- new technologies. VideoShop and QuickTime take full advantage of the
- Macintosh’s extraordinary imaging and presentation capabilities,” she remarked.
- Both SyQuest and DiVA will each offer their usual manufacturer’s warranty.
- DiVA will provide telephone technical support for VideoShop to all SyQuest
- customers who purchase the company’s cartridges during the nine week promotion.
- SyQuest’s 5.25-inch removable cartridges, the SQ400 and SQ800, will be sold in
- specially marked packages identified by a gold foil label.
