MillimeterMacroSystem Announces the Casablanca Liberty HDV Editing System
Dec 8, 2006 5:21 PM
MacroSystem Digital Video, the inventor of standalone video editors, partners with Toshiba to announce a tablet PC HDV editing solution: the Casablanca Liberty. The Casablanca Liberty harnesses the powerful simplicity of the Casablanca line, while providing video professionals with the convenience of a portable editing suite. Two models will be sold. The top model is outfitted with a 120GB hard drive, a 2.33GHz Intel Core Duo Processor, 1024MB of DDR2 RAM, and an 8X dual-layer DVD burner.
The Casablanca Liberty is designed for professionals needing to edit HDV or SD footage on the job site or while traveling, schools requiring mobility in order to shuttle production equipment between classrooms, and other applications.
The first MacroSystem product of its kind, the Casablanca Liberty sports a sleek swivel, touch-screen monitor, making it an all-in-one HDV production solution. With this touch-sensitive screen, you can swivel it around to display your work, or you can flip it around and down so that you can use the accompanying stylus to edit right on your lap.
Business owners, schools and other institutions interested in augmenting productions or office efficiency with PC applications will be pleased to know that upon boot-up, the Casablanca Liberty will run Windows XP Tablet Edition, which features fingerprint recognition for security and handwriting recognition for identifying and digitizing handwritten lines of text.
As with all Casablanca editors, Macrosystem provides free training at Casablanca University in Boulder, Colo. For those users who can’t make it to the University, trained dealers and in-house technical support team are available for support. Toshiba provides a full three-year worldwide warranty on its hardware.
This product is slated for North American release in the first quarter of 2007 upon delivery of the Casablanca Smart Edit 6 operating system.
