New product from Pinnacle Systems is poised to become a powerhouse in the post production market.Pinnacle Systems
Inc. has begun shipping Liquid Chrome, a new compositing and editing system that
debuted to accolades at the 2003 National Association of Broadcasters
convention. Pinnacle has also unveiled exciting new configuration and pricing
options for Liquid chrome, with a starting price of just $14,995.
"I just
completed my largest editing project ever, using the new Liquid chrome,” said
Rob Nordvik, executive vice president of video production, Brad Kinney
Productions. “Working with the powerful Pinnacle Liquid editing environment in
conjunction with the extensive new real-time capabilities was instrumental in
completing this project. With outstanding codecs and capabilities like real-time
32-bit alpha channel compositing, the results were stunning. Having a system
that gives such full-featured real-time capability is very beneficial for us, as
well as our clients. Our clients care about money, and Liquid chrome is enabling
us to offer them the highest-level work with the speed to keep on budget. The
power, stability and ease-of use of Liquid chrome has allowed us to completely
replace two of our edit suites, and substantially cut back on the use of our
third suite."
Liquid chrome enhances the complete line of Pinnacle Liquid
networked editors, which includes Liquid blue for multi-format Broadcast
environments, Liquid chrome for real-time post settings where time and quality
are at a premium, Liquid silver for MPEG-2 post editing, and Liquid purple for
broadcast software-based DV editing applications.
Designed for professional
postproduction, Liquid chrome combines three renowned Pinnacle
components--Pinnacle Liquid editing software, the TARGA 3000 compositing engine,
and the K2 single-chip 3D DVE--into a comprehensive and cost-effective turnkey
editing solution. Liquid chrome features high-quality codecs for I-frame MPEG-2
4:2:2 up to 50 Mbps, uncompressed and DV25 video formats, as well as extensive
real-time 2D and 3D DVE capability, four real-time video streams, unlimited
layering, and Pinnacle Liquid's renowned effects processing that renders
complex, many-layered effects without interrupting workflow.
Customers can purchase a complete
Pinnacle Liquid chrome turnkey system including the Pro Digital & Analog
breakout box for $24,995. Turnkey systems including Pro Digital or Pro Analog
breakout box are available for $19,995 and board and software packages for
$14,995. Existing Liquid silver systems can be upgraded for $6,995 board and
software and current TARGA 3000 systems can upgrade for $4,995 board and
software.
