The Cameras
Standard camera compliment includes five (5) JVC GY-DV550 with CCU's, in Studio & ENG configurations. These cameras feature three (3) 1/2" CCD's with 800 lines of resolution. They also support mini-DV isolation recording with jam sync to master time code. This feature makes post production editing very efficent.  The 550's also have: talley, return video, RTS intercom and other features only seen on larger television trucks. The cameras can also operate in stand alone configuration using the Anton Bauer Battery packs. The system can operate in letterbox or 4x3 mode. A number of  lens configurations are carried in the trailer (4.8x10, 13x, 15x, 20x,  30x, 40x and .7x adaptors).  There is also a lens adaptor to mount any 2/3" lens to the JVC GY-DV550 cameras.

Single & Multicamera Productions
Single camera shoots using our cameras, combined with our 2 edit bays, provide consistently high quality presentations.  Our multicamera package also provides several advantages.  Production efficiency can be dramatically increased by using multiple cameras, shooting from different angles, while recording a single common audio source.  Add "live" switch directing with isolation feed recording, and we can streamline the production process even more.

The Edit Bay Systems  AVID Xpress Pro,  AdobePremeire Pro
Built around two edit systems they can interface with the trailer package for commercial insertion, package edits and playback. Adobe Premeire Pro is also running on Sony P4 Vaio's with Laird component firewire transcoders. AVID Xress Pro is running on a Dual Xeon Edit system with Laird Dvora component firewire converter allowing direct to disc capture using your firewire drives.  We also have DVD recorders and DVD Replication on board.

Audio Recording
The Motu 2408 Mk3 audio interface allows multitrack audio recording with sync back to master time code.  Cubase 4 software is the software used to record.
Audio is locked to master time code.
