Ikan V8000 HDMI Video Monitor
I recently received an Ikan V8000 HDMI Video monitor from ProFlixSales. Not a big fan of instruction manuals, I immediately pulled the monitor out of the box and pretty much figured it out in about 10 minutes.
Using Video to Help Sell Products
In the past I’ve pushed brands to produce videos that show off their products. To date, adoption has been slow, which surprises me because video can serve as a powerful piece of marketing collateral. All the hyperbole laced marketing copy in the world can’t compete with a video that shows the features and functionality of a product AND case studies of how the product can be used.
Department Of Eagles - No One Does It Like You

Live Webcasting with NewTek Tricaster Broadcast
The Tricaster is a beast. A box about the size of a Wiener Dog (I couldn’t think of anything else), the Tricaster can handle multiple SD camera inputs. It also has a cool feature that allows me to install a tiny application on any Mac or PC in our network so that the Tricaster can then “see” that computer and pull the desktop of that computer into my production.

MicroNet MaxNAS 2.5TB
As the sole IT administrator at on online agency here in New York City I find myself pretty busy with two things: finding space to store HD video and maintaining the machines that will access it. Speed is always an issue considering the HD file sizes we produce. We are constantly under siege with juggling firewire drives between machines – which eats up time.

Choosing Between HD and SD Video Mixers
There’s no doubt that HD is appealing. Pick up any production magazine and people are talking about the future of HD and beyond.
