Marc Franklin | Why can the HP z800 accomplish feats beyond the ken of the most powerful systems previously available? And what's so drastically different about it that, after 8 years, HP had to come up with a whole new numbering series to signal a break from the past? The z800 is part of the new "z" workstation line, which is the first workstation line on the market powered by Intel's long-anticipated Xeon Nehalem processor.

Marc Franklin | Given the unprecedented demans that HDV's native interframe compression places on systems that can usually handle DV in their sleep, how powerful a system do you need to make HDV postproduction as smooth as DV editing is today? We tested three strategies using Premiere Pro CS3: editing native on a new DuoCore PC; editing native with the help of Matrox' RT.X2; and working with a Cineform intermediate codec.
Marc Franklin | 16x9's 0.7X Wide Angle Converter lens will work for most handheld HDV camcorders. The EX 0.75X gives you broader compatibility (like the HVX200) and better quality for another $200. If you shoot with any of the compatible handheld pro HDV/HD camcorders, I highly recommend getting at least one of these wide-angle lenses to widen your shooting horizons.
Marc Franklin| While this year's NAB show didn't have as many wows as last year's, there were a number of new products and technologies unveiled that will have an impact on the event videography market in the coming year and beyond. From standard-setting HD cameras to innovative animation tools to major new entries from Apple and Adobe and a stunning studio-in-abox, here are 12 products to watch from NAB 2007.
Marc Franklin | If you need an affordable HDV camcorder with professional-level controls and a pro lens, and want to take advantage of the superior 720p60 recording format, the GY-HD200 is the best choice on the market today, and well worth the extra $2,450 you'll spend in stepping up from JVC's HD110.
Marc Franklin | Petrol's new camera backpack is well-built an can comfortably carry everything you could possibly need to shoot and edit on the go. Once you've got it configured for your particular camera, the Petrol PCBP-3N ($249.95) is an excellent solution for confidently carrying your laptop and camera where you need to go, whether it's locations across the street or across the world.
Marc Franklin | I found proDAD's Heroglyph Rapid 2.6 to be a very capable tool for animated text effects. With minimal effort, I was able to create a number of complicated animated graphics that would have been difficult to produce in other tools. With the time it saves you, you'll recoup your $99 investment after a single job.
Marc Franklin | In testing, both the G-RAID and G-DRIVE-mini proved real troopers. The 500GB G-RAID enclosure performed flawlessly using both FireWire 400 and 800 connections, and I highly recommend it. The G-DRIVE-mini worked perfectly on direct FireWire 800 connections from G-Tech’s optional FireWire 800 card in my HP Xeon Workstation. All in all, based on its size, stamina, and overall value, I highly recommend the G-DRIVE-mini—especially if you travel.
Marc Franklin | Here's a list of 12 products that debuted at NAB 2006 and are poised to make a major impact in our industry over the next year, and a brief explanation of why they made the list.
Marc Franklin | The Matrox Parhelia APVe a great graphics card for any video or graphic application. Even though Vegas or Avid may not have WYSIWYG out, it will still give you plenty of monitor space. Being able to spread your applications over up to three computer monitors or two computer monitor and one video screen is bound to make you work quicker no matter what your application.
