WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU
____________________________________________

First - If your non-profit organization already has footage and wants to edit it, you can do it very cost-effectively at the Soho Center.

Second - If your non-profit organization needs high-end media - whether print, internet, PSAs (radio or television), or long-form videos - we can help. We have a long history of working with award-winning professionals to plan and develop media that works - and we'd be glad to discuss helping your non-profit to develop high-quality media projects.

We would also be glad to explore ways your organization can collaborate with the Soho Center to find funding to develop high quality media (video-based , web-based, or print) to support your projects and initiatives - whether in the child care field or any other legitimate non-profit arena.

For more information, please call the Soho Center's Director at 540-923-5012 or e-mail us at newmedia@child2000.org.

HARDWARE & SOFTWARE - NEW CAPABILITIES
_______________________________________________

Thanks to several recent donations, the Soho Center now has high-quality uncompressed video-capable, digital non-linear video editing capability and greatly enhanced office, web, and graphics development capabilities. All this is available for use by the Soho Center and other non-profits.

EDIT FACILITY:
Our primary video editing system is an AVID Meridian 11. We also have a separate, full-featured AVID Xpress and an AVID Media Composer 7.2. Video input can come from BetaSP, D-2, and DVCPro. Audio can come from any video source as well as from DAT.

All sources are directly interfaced with and controlled by the AVID. In addition, the Xpress has a complete ProTools package for advanced audio editing.

The new facility includes a granite conference table, granite counters and granite editor's desk, LCD displays, and more.

For the coffee addicts that many media folks tend to be, there's always lots of organic espresso roast beans, a KitchenAid professional burr grinder, and a Rancilio espresso machine at the ready.

FIELD PRODUCTION:

Field production equipment includes a AJ-D215 DVCPro camera as well as donations from the manufacturers of a Vinten tripod and fluid head, AKG wireless microphone, Anton-Bauer power, PortaBrace field case, and Tiffen filters.
