AFA Products Group To Offer High and Standard Definition Products at NAB 2000

<%=company1%> Products Group (Booth # L11522), manufacturer of "ReVISION" advanced digital products, has announced plans to exhibit a range of products for color correction, automatic travelling matte generation for computer graphics/special effects, and digital asset management at NAB 2000. Products include: TRAXIM, ColorDrome, and VideoBank.

PRODUCTS ON EXHIBIT
TRAXIM - Available in high or standard definition, TRAXIM is the first new "operator UN intensive" tool for isolating objects from their background since the chroma key. With a quick and easy highlight stroke, the operator shows TRAXIM which objects are of interest. TRAXIM then defines the edge of the objects or elements. Frame by frame, TRAXIM automatically follows the object or element as it moves in the scene using advanced image processing techniques formerly only found in machine vision research labs.

Staying "operator UN-intensive", TRAXIM's integral DDR chases a telecine or VTR providing real time object-based auto-tracked windows for use in color correction.

ColorDrome - A breakthrough workstation that transcends color correction! Available in high or standard definition, ColorDrome provides "endless" TRAXIM windows and features a comprehensive effects (blur, sharpen, etc.) package for object by object "look correction".

VideoBank , a suite of powerful, digital asset database and management tools for storage, retrieval, transmission and presentation of video clips, spots and programs. Running on a standard PC workstation, VideoBank supports multiple storage options, virtually limitless networking, and enables remote browsing and playback via integral web-based interface.

Modules being launched at NAB 00 include: VideoDeposit - for input and encoding of material, VideoTools - includes MPEG editing, storyboard creation and segment/image compositing, VideoWithdrawal - for playlist generation and playout, VideoExpress - for point to point transmission of clips and programs, VideoTouch - Touch-based control of programs for presentation or distance learning applications, WebExpress - for browsing and searching via the web.
