LAS VEGAS, NV , a worldwide leader in media management and Ultra Wideband wireless technology, is generating excitement on the floor of NAB 2008 with new products, partnerships, and technologies -- all designed to further optimize the end-to-end HD workflow and ensure seamless continuity of metadata through all phases of production and post-production. The company has been showcasing key additions to its media acquisition, management, conversion, and delivery solutions from April 14-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth SL2605.

"We've concentrated on expanding file format and multi-platform support across our product families to enable a continuous workflow and seamless interoperability with popular NLEs and video camcorders. With a streamlined workflow from start to finish, media professionals are better able to focus on the creative aspects of post production," said Michael Conway, senior vice president of corporate strategy for Focus Enhancements. "This optimized workflow has received a fantastic response by the industry at NAB. In particular, the new FS-5, along with the ability to dynamically add custom metadata while recording, has sparked tremendous interest among show attendees."

New additions at NAB 2008 include:

-- FS-5 Direct To Edit� recorder: the fifth generation of Focus Enhancements' flagship FS recorder. In addition to key enhancements like additional file format support, significant weight/size reduction, and UDF disk formatting, the FS-5 introduces the ground-breaking ability to log custom metadata wirelessly via a laptop or smart phone while recording media.

-- ProxSys� PX Media Asset Management product line: Focus Enhancements added several new features and components to expand the PX family for production, post-production, and web-based content delivery applications, including the new PX HD Playout Station, PX Media Transfer Utility, and Universal Metadata Engine?.

-- Sony XDCAM EX? Development Alliance: In cooperation with Sony, Focus Enhancements introduced a new ProxSys Media Server that includes native XDCAM EX format support, XDCAM EX acquisition and playout via Sony's hardware codec card, and metadata-optimized workflow software.
