By popular demand, here's the first published shootout between the three hottest DV products on the market today, the RT.X100 from Matrox, DVStorm2 Plus from Canopus and Pinnacle's Pro-ONE RTDV. In our unique format, a representative from each company makes comments extolling their product's virtues while criticizing their competitors, and then DMN's referee Charlie White offers his opinion in response to each comment after testing the systems for weeks on end. Here's where you can find out what's really happening with all these great systems, all in one place.
How should the stock footage industry deal with the growing demand for high def? That is the question.
The picturesque town of Pray, Montana, would not appear to be a likely home for one of the country’s busiest HD upconversion suites, but that’s where Al Giddings has built a $500,000 facility centered on two Teranex Xantus video processing platforms. The machines have been busy for a year and a half and are about one-third of the way through their task of converting 25,000 scenes to high-def.

Copps:Copps cites 'Widespread popular revulsion' with TV programming; indecency standard should be revisited
On the morning following November's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on CBS Television, which aroused the ire of some conservative Americans, Federal Communications Commissioner Michael J. Copps issued a one-page statement calling for a "re-examination of the FCC's indecency standard." To give the commissioner the opportunity to expand on his statement, Morality in Media's Patrick McGrath spoke with Copps on 4 December. Morality in Media is a national, not-for-profit, religious organization established in 1962 to combat obscenity and uphold decency standards in the media.

"Bubble," the follow up spot, is scheduled to debut this month. Both ads were produced in 2k.
