Jimmy McGinnis
Panasonic Broadcast

For several years the IEEE 1394 interface has been a popular means of moving standard definition video, audio etween the band metadata material in and out of non-linear editing systems. During NAB, Panasonic announced the capability to use this popular interface between the DVCPRO 1200 HD deck and Apple HD non-linear editing systems.

Jimmy McGinnis of Panasonic Broadcast will present a more detailed look at both the technology and the applications of this new capability.

WSB is located at the corner of West Peachtree and Peachtree Streets, north of 17th Street.
