We’re looking for schools, social programs or other potential markets for used Avids, and FCP’s.  We have lots of peripherals in stock as well.  Just give a call, we’ll work with your budget, whatever it may be.

We’d love to get your responses on toners.  Over the years, we’ve had several.  None are ideal, that is, for all cable types.  Any recommendations are welcome!

How much does one have to spend to purchase a PCI or PCI-E graphics card that outputs a composite, component or Y/C signal that is useable?  I spent about $80.00, and got a monochrome output to all but the lowest end monitors.  Matter of fact, the only time chroma kicked in was when this thing was input to a TV set’s aux input.  After looking at the cards’ output on a waveform monitor, I could see why!  The burst was squashed into a band of noise!  These are truly low end consumer garbage, existing only for “gamers”.   If someone knows of a good one that can interface with prosumer or even pro video gear, let me know.  Scan converters?  Don’t get me started…..

Let it be known, that frequent cleaning of your video heads can extend their useable lifespan.  We’re happy to instruct you on this procedure at no cost, just give a call!
