News » Contour Design a Safe Harbor blog Safe Harbor Computers to Exhibit at 2011 IVA Filmmakers Expo 0 Posted by Marc Leitner June 7, 2011 Waukesha, WI – June 7, 2011 – Safe Harbor Computers, a leading supplier to video and 3D animation professionals, today announced that they will be exhibiting at the 5th annual Illinois Videographers Association Midwest Expo, June 28, 2011. Demonstrating unique features of the Atomos Ninja, alongside the power of Safe Harbor’s custom-built Tsunami and Mac Pro workstations, attendees will experience hands-on benefits of the latest hardware and software. The Atomos Ninja, a rugged and portable 10-bit field recorder for video cameras and DSLRs with HDMI, will be mounted to a Sony video camera for demonstration purposes. The battery-powered unit takes the live uncompressed HDMI feed from a camcorder and saves it to a 2.5" hard drive in the 10-bit ProRes format with 4:2:2 quality, bypassing the compression cameras use when saving HD video to tape or memory card. The captured ProRes files can then be immediately edited in Final Cut Pro without Log and Transfer or any type of transcoding needed. The ProRes clips will also play in Premiere Pro CS5.5 for PC users. Functionality will be demonstrated on both platforms. Also featured will be Safe Harbor’s custom built Tsunami workstations powered by Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 and NVIDIA Quadro by PNY. The Mercury Playback Engine at the heart of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 is NVIDIA GPU-accelerated, 64-bit native, architected for the future—enabling users to work more fluidly on projects in SD, HD, 2K, 4K, and beyond. Safe Harbor staff and experienced video editor Jeff Pulera will be available for questions as he demonstrates this powerful setup with the Atomos Ninja. An Apple Mac Pro workstation will also be on display with unique configurations tailored to specific editing needs. Literature, raffle prizes, exclusive show specials and coupons will be available to all attendees at the Safe Harbor booth. Jeff will also be discussing the various performance levels of Tsunami and how Safe Harbor can work with customers to meet specific needs and budgets. Show attendees will be able to visit the booth, talk with video professionals, and learn how the Atomos Ninja, with an optimized workstation from Safe Harbor, helps to maximize production workflows.

WEVA Partners With Universal Studios Florida For WEVA EXPO 2008 Tour 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff April 17, 2008 WEVA International has partnered with Universal Studios Florida Production Group to plan an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the Universal Studios Production Facilities for professional videographers in conjunction with the WEVA 18th Annual Wedding & Event Video Expo, August 11-14, 2008. WEVA EXPO 2008, the wedding and event video industry's largest convention and trade show will be held at Orlando Grande Lakes Resort, just 10 minutes from Universal Studios Florida. The largest working motion picture and television studio outside of Hollywood, Universal Studios Florida boasts 9 state-of-the-art soundstages, multiple broadcast studios, and more than 100 backlot sets. Numerous feature films (including The Waterboy, Matinee, and Parenthood) have been shot on the studio backlot. Home to cable network’s Nickelodeon, Universal Studios Florida has hosted TV programs as diverse as The Ellen Degeneres Show; The Food Network's Emeril, Live!; The Steve Harvey Show; America's Most Wanted; Fear Factor; BattleBotsIQ and TNA (Total Nonstop Action). TNA, today's popular contemporary wrestling show, is taped in Stage 21 - (adjacent to the park). This summer, WEVA EXPO 2008 attendees will have a rare opportunity to take an optional pre-convention, behind-the-scenes tour of Universal Studios that is being planned for Monday August 11, 2008 (starting early afternoon, ending before the official WEVA EXPO 2008 Opening Night Gala at 5:45pm). "As announced at our NAB event this week, WEVA is already at work with the Universal Studios Production Group (USPG) designing a backlot tour that is ‘professional to professional’ rather than the standard ‘visitor’ version normally presented to park guests," relates Dan Argenas, WEVA’s Director of Association Communications. "Our goal is to offer WEVA EXPO 2008 attendees an inside view of state-of-the-art television and film production that’s up close and personal." The WEVA and USPG teams are finalizing details of the tour, including ground transportation (private busses will depart from the JW Marriott).

Contour Design ShuttlePRO Enhances Sony Media Software Experience 0 Posted by Safe Harbor Staff September 6, 2006 Contour Design Inc, creators of the award-winning ShuttlePRO line of multimedia controllers, is proud to announce the release of new enhanced support for the Sony Media Software family of audio/video editing applications. Updated support is now available for Vegas 6, Acid Pro 6, Sound Forge 8 and Sound Forge Audio Studio 8. All new support for Cinescore 1.0, Acid Music Studio 6, and CD Architect 5 has been added to the ShuttlePRO lineup. Enhancing the Creative Experience Across the Sony Media Software line "The seamless integration of our ShuttlePRO multimedia controller is the result of our continued collaboration with Sony," said David Moore, Contour Design's ShuttlePRO product specialist. "Together, we have fully integrated the ShuttlePRO into the Sony creative experience.

Professionals and prosumers alike will find their creative process enhanced by using the ShuttlePRO with every Sony Media Software title. The Perfect Tool for Every Application Similar support methodology was applied across all of the applications so that users of multiple Sony products can easily use the ShuttlePRO and ShuttleXpress with all of them. The ShuttlePRO settings for all of the applications, from Sound Forge Audio Studio to Cinescore, are intuitive and encompass the most used features of each program. The learning curve is kept to a minimum with an emphasis on easy transitions and enhancing the creative editing experience.
