Pinnacle Systems, Inc. today announced Studio Deluxe, a new addition to its top-selling Studio line of consumer video products. Even though there has been explosive growth in digital camcorder sales, there are still many users with analog camcorders. Supporting both DV and analog video from capture to output, Studio Deluxe includes many of the features that were previously only available in professional systems costing $1,000 or more. Pinnacle Systems will begin shipping Studio Deluxe in February 2002 and the suggested retail price is only $299. With Studio Deluxe, consumers have everything they need to capture, create and share entertaining videos on DVD or video tape. The complete package includes a professional breakout box and a video capture board that supports input from and output to digital and analog camcorders, VCRs and TV sets. No additional FireWire board is required. Software included is the award winning Studio 7 software as well as Pinnacle Express DVD creation software and Hollywood FX Plus, a professional-style transition effects software. With support for both digital and analog video equipment, Pinnacle Systems' new video editing system will appeal to all types of video enthusiasts:
- Analog camcorder owners will have high quality video editing solution that they can use with their existing camcorder, with built in future compatibility when they upgrade to a DV camcorder.
- DV camcorder owners will have all of the benefits of DV editing, with backwards compatibility for any legacy analog tapes.
