This past Friday was the 2nd time our two team members, Adrienne and Jenny got busy in the kitchen to make a dessert from scratch. Last time it was Twinkies and this week it was Peanut Butter Cups! Hershey’s Chocolate, peanut butter, powdered sugar, yum! So why do we do this? We’re a professional post …
Well at long last, we have found the new home for Biscardi Creative Media. At least we hope we have! For the second time in just over 4 months, we have a contract in place to purchase about 1.6 Acres of land on a lot that really brings together everything we were looking for. Room …
If you have not had a chance to see these LCD monitors yet or want to know more about LCD and how it all works, the FSI team will be at the Charlotte FCPUG meeting on March 18th. What’s great about this is that it’s a technology demonstration, not just a sales pitch. That’s the …
When Apple switched to Intel processors and the PCIe internal architecture it only made sense that sooner or later we’ll start to see cross platform cards that can work in either a Mac or a PC. Now AJA makes that a reality. Effective immediately, the AJA Kona lineup is now cross platform and will ship …

After seeing the FSI monitors and all their features at the first demo, I suggested to Dan Desmet they should create a video version of their user manual to make it easier to understand everything. Well that conversation led to the new How-To-video manual that is available on the FSI website. http://www.flandersscientific.com/index/videomanual Not only does …
Recently a thread in the Creative Cow Apple Color forum had somebody remark that if you’re delivering to the “Big Boys” such as Discovery and PBS you really should have external scopes in your shop. It’s also been suggested that external legalizer boxes really should be used as well when delivering to the high end …
Dan Desmet came by today with one of the new FSI 2470W LED backlight monitors today so I could compare it to our 2450Ws. So right off the bat, this unit features an RGB LED Matrix backlight vs. the fluorescent backlights of the 2450W. This makes the display lighter, use less power, run cooler and …
I see posts on the Creative Cow weekly and I receive a lot of requests to help folks configure an editing system to meet their needs. Honestly, all one needs to do is find a good, reputable Value Added Reseller. There’s two primary reasons for this. One - This is what they do, they configure …
SEE UPDATES BELOW, I’ve updated this story three times since the original entry. We took delivery of the brand spankin’ new 27″ i7 iMac last week and connected it immediately to our Final Share SAN in about 5 minutes for video editing.
