TV Magic and Panasonic Offer Free Seminar on Efficient End-to-End File-Based HD Workflows

SAN DIEGO — Jan. 8, 2009 — Broadcast systems integrator TV Magic and Panasonic are partnering to present a free seminar and mini trade show focused on effective file-based high-definition (HD) workflows and systems, from acquisition through to archive. Scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 22, at the Crystal Cathedral in Crystal Grove, Calif., the daylong seminar will feature key elements of an efficient file-based HD workflow with attention to image capture, storage, editing, audio, and systems design and integration.

"Today's solutions for file-based HD workflows enable dramatic improvements in efficiency throughout the production, delivery, and archiving of higher quality — and thus more compelling and valuable — media assets," said Stephen Milley, vice president of sales and marketing for TV Magic. "By working with Panasonic and other companies, we're offering individuals and organizations the chance to learn more about how they can implement the latest HD solutions to achieve more streamlined operations."

TV Magic and Panasonic will be joined by representatives from other leading broadcast solutions providers, including 1 Beyond™, Apple®, Sennheiser, Camera Dynamics, Evertz®, Leader, Omneon®, Fujinon®, Quantum, and Rimage. Featured solutions will include Panasonic's P2 systems, Apple's Final Cut Pro® and Xsan®, and Sennheiser's mic and audio systems. Seminar attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with equipment and receive expert advice on their use and integration into new or existing facilities.

The seminar runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will include snacks and lunch. Attendees can also enter a drawing for a Blu-ray DVD player, Disneyland tickets, and other door prizes, which will be awarded to winners present at the event.

The Crystal Cathedral is located at 13280 Chapman Ave. Registration for this free HD workshop may be completed via phone at 858-650-3155, or by e-mail to marketing@TVMagic.tv.
