High-definition TV offers more than just a wider screen. The viewable lines of resolution increase from 480 to 1080—and pixels from 300,000 to over 2,000,000— for pictures that provide six times more detail in the video. “Being able to produce in high definition means our clients’ commercials will provide much sharper images, which really stand out from commercials not produced in high definition,” said Ed Smith, president of Edit House Productions. The company is one of very few New Mexico facilities to include a High-Definition camera and post-production editing system for local commercials, as well as standard definition production. Their camera, the Sony XDCAM 355 records digitally to disk instead of tape. It’s switchable to 24p (24 frames per second progressive) for a cinematic look and can shoot slow motion or time lapse in the field. The XDCAM 355 also offers 10 seconds of pre-roll cache recording, so it records even before the camera “rolls”. The editing suite for HD commercials and video projects features a Mac quad-core processor, surround sound, 42’ plasma television and the most up-to-date graphics software available. “With this ability, Edit House Productions can create the highest level television production for local advertisers, still with our commitment to quality customer service and value,” said Smith.
