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
