HD at Altitude: VelocityHD
Leitch takes you higher with new real time HD editing system
Charlie White
At a press event held aboard the USS Intrepid, Leitch introduced its newest product, VelocityHD. Vowing that hardware still matters, the company demonstrated a powerful new hardware card called Altitude that is capable of playing back multiple streams of uncompressed HD footage, with a starting price of under $10K. That, along with its highly evolved Velocity software, looks like it could be a winning combination. Here's a first look.

Format Wars: May the Best Man Win?
Sometimes quality doesn't prevail
Charlie White
Lately we’ve been looking ahead at new technologies here at the Midwest Test Facility, with two headline-grabbing format wars coming up in the next few years achieving top-of-mind status here at our think tank out on the lonesome, wind-swept prairie.

Creating interactivity with Stitcher 4.0
Stephen Schleicher
When you create a QuickTime VR movie you provide your audience with a unique way to explore an environment. This environment could be your brick and mortar store, a special event location, or even a television studio.
