sure you have chosen the proper option, anamorphic or letterbox in the down converter. If you do anamorphic the image will look tall. Sincerely, Joshua Director of Support Blackmagic Design Inc. | | | | |

SAS RAID from Dulce Systems
Creative COW Contributing Editor Bob Zelin talks about the latest step in the Serial Attached Storage revolution: full RAID 5 protection with read speeds over 350 mb/sec. from Dulce Systems. At least that's what Dulce claimed. When he heard the rest of what Dulce had to say, Bob simply didn't believe them. When he put those claims to the test, he got a lot more than he bargained for. Will you?

Creative Cow Adobe Premiere Pro HD Report
Rick Gerard explored the latest offerings while at NAB 2004 and came away with one of his show favorites, the new HD capabilities found in Premiere Pro 1.5 as seen in systems like 1 Beyond's HD Pro which Rick reports "...uses the latest PC technology in the internal structure to speed up data throughput.
