Casablanca Liberty Portable Laptop Video Editing System
We are now accepting orders for the Casablanca Liberty,
MacroSystem's first portable digital video editing system with a built-in
monitor!
An increasing number of our customers over the past few years have shared
with us a strong desire and need to have a 'portable' editing solutionŠ they
wanted to continue to benefit from the ease of use, the stability and the
creative power of Casablanca but they need it to work at a job site, on the
airplane or in a hotel room. Wedding videographers have explained the value
of having a system to perform same day edits to display at the reception.
We are happy to announce the ideal portable solution for Casablanca - the
Liberty!
Casablanca Liberty is MacroSystem's first portable digital video editing
system with a built-in monitor! But this isn't just any monitor - we have
partnered with Toshiba electronics to implement Liberty on the Toshiba
notebook with a swivel, touch-sensitive screen.
With this touch-sensitive screen you can swivel it around to display your
demo to a prospective customer or you can flip it around and down so that
you can use the accompanying stylus to edit right on your lap! Of course,
you can use the built-in touchpad, integrated keyboard or connect a
trackball/keyboard to edit as you do now.
The Liberty does not sacrifice performance for portability as it is built
with the Intel Dual Core Processor with results on par with the Solitaire
and Renommee.
In addition to the creative power associated with video editing in the Smart
Edit environment, Liberty provides an additional benefit - upon boot-up, you
can choose to launch either Smart Edit or the Windows operating system! On
the windows side, Liberty features many excellent functions specifically for
the touch-screen environment under Windows XP Tablet Edition - with features
like the finger print recognition for security and more.
And yes, the Casablanca Liberty includes a Dual-Layer DVD drive for
authoring DVDs, burning CDs and sharing media through the Disk Transfer
software, as well as a fully functioning Ethernet port.
Liberty will release with Smart Edit 6 pre-installed, providing you with
even more exciting features as well as your choice of editing in Standard
Definition or HDV. Another excellent advantage of the Casablanca Liberty is
Toshiba's full worldwide warranty on hardware of three years. MacroSystem
of course handles all things related with Smart Edit.
Software specifics and pricing in North America is expected shortly as we
negotiate to bring our customers the best systems at competitive pricing.
We are expecting to release Smart Edit 6 in the first quarter of 2007.

- The Toshiba Portege
Some folks have asked about the pricing on the
Toshiba Portege... and why we chose such a premium product. Great
question... let me share some thoughts - the Toshiba M400 Protege is a
true tablet PC and a very robust one at that, a professional tool.
Other choices in the marketplace may come in at a
lower sticker price but this tablet PC is far superior to a laptop. For
starters the Liberty offers dramatically improved technology with the
swivel screen and the touch-screen capabilities!
The Toshiba M400 Protege also includes a special
version of Windows XP Tablet PC software which provides the benefits of
digital ink technology, where a digitizer is laid under or over an LCD
screen to create an electromagnetic field that can capture the movement
of the special-purpose pen and record the movement on the LCD screen.
The effect is like writing on paper with liquid ink. Add the durability
of the M400, which meets the rigorous demands to be approved by the U.S.
Military as a field unit! Here are some of the benefits of the
'Toshiba Easy Guard' design:
Shock Absorbing Design
Specially designed shock absorption that helps
protect key components (Harddisk drive HDD, LCD, inverter) and the
chassis to help reduce risk of system damage and data loss in the
event of accidental fall, impact or vibration.
Hard Disk Drive Protection
Toshiba Hard Disk Drive Protection offers an
enhanced impact protection solution including two levels of internal
support specifically for the harddisk drive- shock absorption to
help protect the HDD in the event of an impact or vibration and the
Toshiba exclusive 3D accelerometer - 3-axis monitoring system.
The Toshiba HDD Protection System is an
intelligent defense mechanism that helps safeguard user information
stored on the hard drive in the event of unexpected impacts, falls
or excessive vibrations.1
Spill Resistant Keyboard
Extra insulation and water resistance
incorporated into the system in order to delay damage from
accidental spills.
High Grade Case Design
Magnesium alloy is a lightweight, rugged
material utilized in structural, automotive, industrial and
aerospace manufacturing. It's used in the exterior casework of
select Toshiba notebooks to maximize both durability and
portability.
Again - we have provided the above information to
help differentiate between our professional grade Liberty and the myriad
of laptop computers available in the marketplace.
