NAB 2007: Aja's Firewire Do-It-All

last-roll-17.jpgAja makes video capture and playback solutions for both Mac OS and Windows PCs, and at NAB, the company has set us adrool. Final Cut Studio 2, Apple’s awesome looking new digital video editing suite (which we’ll cover more later) includes something called ProRes 422, basically a package for handling and editing uncompressed HD on the new 8-way Mactopusses. Aja has debuted a Firewire video capture box that was designed from the ground up to work with ProRes 422. This means that if you’re looking for a tweedledee to go with Apple HD tweedledum, this is your cookie. We tried to get a hands-on, but they keep this guy behind glass on a rotating pedestal. It’s cool, sure, but it’s not the Hope Diamond or anything. Sheesh.
