Los Angeles Showroom

Los Angeles Showroom

TV Pro Gear's headquarters offers a full demonstration facility.  

Showroom Production FacilityTV Pro Gear’s Los Angeles showroom is more than just your typical place to see products on display. It is actually a fully functioning tapeless studio, where our clients can see and experience the full complement of our services and systems in action.
 
We allow hands-on operation of advanced standard and high definition equipment connected via fiber and gigabit Ethernet. Visitors will learn the best methods for going from SD to HD and, with the assistance of our integration professionals, the answers to a variety of questions:
 
 
 
 
 
  • Which HD format should I use?
  • How do I mix my legacy formats (like Betacam SP) with the new HD formats?
  • How can I convert my 4:3 SD video to 16:9 without the annoying stretched look?
  • Which of the cameras from Sony, Panasonic, JVC, Canon, Hitachi, Grass Valley, and Ikegami are best for my application?
  • How can I stream hi-definition video over the Internet without losing quality?
  • Considering features and value, which is a better tool--Avid or Final Cut Pro?
  • How can I improve workflow using shared storage or a Storage Area Network?
  • What software handles facility scheduling, management and station automation?
  • How can I manage tape archives? What software can log all my vault footage and make it selectively available over the internet to my clients?
  • How do I secure my digital assets?
  • What are my options for titles, graphics and animation?
