Videoguys Insider Update November 2012

Videoguys by Gary Bettan

Last week Long Island was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Most of our staff lost power in their homes. Thankfully the damages were minimal, but here we are over a week later and still many of us are without power or heat. Just when you think things can't get worse... A Nor'Easter hits Long Island. Dropping up to 6 inches of snow, knocking down more trees and power lines. Two weeks later it is remarkable how much work has been done and things are getting back to normal.

How much video can you store on 4TB? How about 40 hours of ProRes 422HQ or Avid DNxHD 220; 68 hours of DVCProHD; 208 hours of XDCAM EX; or 300 hours of HDV 1080i or DV. G-RAIDs are capable of handling all of the footage mentioned above and they work great with all video editing applications. Just connect the G-RAID to your PC or Mac, desktop or Laptop via eSata, USB2 or FireWire and you’re ready to edit. Check out our G-Tech G-Raid bundles with Avid, Adobe, Edius, Vegas, Magic Bullet & NewBlue Titler Pro! http://tinyurl.com/76ovqnc
