The Digital Age is in full swing and Edutain is set to bedazzle the techno junkie with the latest from Dazzle - right on time for Christmas and the holidays.
Caesar`s Palace was the venue for an exciting function last week, where Edutain Distribution, a leading provider of solutions that open the Digital World, announced the release of additional products to SCM`s Dazzle line of market-leading digital media solutions.
The Dazzle DVD Creation Station 200 (DCS 200) is the industry`s first multi-input, all-in-one hardware and software solution for creating videos and photo slideshows to play back on a home DVD player. The DCS 200 allows consumers to capture DVD quality video from any camcorder, VCR or TV, as well as read photo and other files from all types of flash card media. The device comes with a complete suite of Dazzle software which allows users to capture and edit video as well as design and burn DVDs and photo slideshows. The DCS 200 also supports outputting video to videotape, Video CD, and the Web.
The Dazzle TV Photo Show is a "no computer needed" device for viewing digital photos on a TV. This product makes it easy for anyone to create a slideshow of their favourite digital photographs on a standard television set - without the hassle and complexity of downloading the pictures to a computer. Users simply plug the TV Photo Show into the television`s RCA video-in connector and insert the digital media card from their digital camera. Then, using TV Photo Show`s supplied remote control, users can play their slideshow for family and friends to enjoy. Clearly identified buttons on the remote control make it easy to rotate, plan, delete or zoom in on individual pictures.
The Dazzle MovieStar 5 is the newest addition to the Dazzle digital video software line. It combines an easy-to-use user interface with powerful editing features to provide home users with what they need to create their own professional looking movies. MovieStar 5`s innovative user interface makes video editing the easiest it has ever been. Almost all video-editing tasks can be completed in three mouse clicks or less. In addition, MovieStar 5 is the first real consumer video editing software to support Background Rendering, which means that the most time consuming and frustrating part of the video editing experience - rendering a final project - is cut down dramatically.
The Dazzle OnDVD 2.0 slideshow creation software allows users to create digital photo slideshows that can be recorded to CD and viewed with family and friends on the living room television. Creating a slideshow with Dazzle OnDVD 2.0 is quick and easy. Users simply choose which digital photos they want to display, arrange them in the order they want, then add their favourite audio tracks as background music. Photos can also be cropped and enhanced with adjustments to colour and resolution using OnDVD`s built-in Dazzle Photo Editor.
Once the slideshow is complete, users can preview it to make sure it is exactly right, then record it onto a CD that can be played back on a home DVD player. The Dazzle Digital Media Reader, featuring Dazzle`s OnDVD software utility, enables consumers to quickly and easily transfer photos from a digital camera to a PC, create a photo slideshow and then burn it on a CD for playback on a DVD player. The new reader builds on SCM`s extensive experience and R&D capability in reader technology; flexibility and versatility are the outstanding characteristics of this product. To create a slideshow, consumers eject the digital media from their digital camera and insert it into the Dazzle Digital Media Reader for a quick and easy transfer of photos to the PC. Within seconds, they can begin selecting the photos they want, arranging them on the timeline and then recording the slideshow to a CD using a CD-Recorder. Dazzle Digital Media Readers are available for all types of media including CompactFlash Type I and II, IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, SD Card, MultiMediaCard and Sony Memory Stick.
In addition to creating a slideshow that is playable on a home DVD player, Dazzle OnDVD creates an archive of the original, high resolution digital photos on a CD-R that can be read back from the PC`s CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. These original photos act as virtual negatives and can be printed and reprinted to high quality photographic paper and framed for years of enjoyment.
The Dazzle DVD Complete Deluxe is a revolutionary DVD authoring and burning software program that allows consumers to turn video footage into Hollywood style DVD movies in five easy steps. The DVD Complete Deluxe offers unsurpassed simplicity and flexibility for DVD authoring. Novice users can take advantage of the software`s project wizards to guide them step-by-step through the DVD authoring process, while expert users can adjust and manipulate all aspects of their projects in detail. The end result is a professional looking DVD movie that is quick and easy to make.
Every so often, a piece of software lives up to its promise. Such is the case with Dazzle DVD Complete, one of the most sophisticated consumer DVD-authoring programs for Windows PCs.
