Business Description

We are a supplier of digital video products to a variety of customers, ranging from individuals with little or no video experience to broadcasters with specific and sophisticated requirements. Our digital video products allow our customers to capture, edit, store, view and play video, and allow them to burn that programming onto a compact disc (CD) or digital versatile disc (DVD). The increase in the number of video distribution channels including cable television, direct satellite broadcast, video-on-demand, DVDs, and the Internet have led to a rapid increase in demand for video content. This is driving a market need for affordable, easy-to-use video creation, storage, distribution and streaming tools, from beginner to broadcaster.

Our products use standard computer and network architecture, along with specialized hardware and software designed by us to provide digital video solutions to users around the world. In order to address the broadcast market, we offer products that provide solutions for live-to-air, play-out, editing, news and sports markets. In order to address the consumer market, we offer low cost, easy-to-use home video editing and viewing solutions that allow consumers to edit their home videos using a personal computer and/or view television programming on their computers. In addition, we provide products that allow consumers to view, on their television set, video and other media content stored on their computers.
