or sound design? How do you address questions about selecting
the right software/hardware platforms? How do you guide student
from diverse economic backgrounds on technology purchasing
decisions? How do you teach entertainment technology with
real-life orientation rather than just "pixel moving"?
This session will provide guidance for effective training
on the new digital tools. |

Panasonic
"Multi
Frame Rate in Video"
Introduction: John M. Woody, James Madison University
Presenter: Hal Morrison, Panasonic Broadcast
Technology Experts in Multi Rate Video Recording, Panasonic
Broadcast Film has always had the quality and versatility
not found in video. Now, with the development of High Definition,
video is approaching the quality of film at a very substantial
cost saving. Panasonic has now developed technologies that
give the same versatility in video that movie makers have
in film. This session will demonstrate this technology and
how it works. Whether you are shooting a documentary to be
shown on PBS ("Lasting Love" shot on our Varicam
HD), the Sundance Film Festival ("O beautiful,"
2003 Short Story winner, shot with Panasonic), or on commercial
television as seen in "Open House," shot with our
AG-DVX100 DV Camcorder, multi rate video camcorders are the
future of video recordings. |
