SYPHA launches new edition of NLE Buyers Guide

SYPHA, specialist in professional A/V equipment guides, has launched a new edition of its online guide for nonlinear video systems at http://SYPHAonline.com.
The completely updated NLE Buyers Guide provides unbiased information on more than 200 different hardware and software products for professional nonlinear video editing - from DV editing and content creation for DVD/Web, to finishing for HDTV/film.
The guide includes all applicable turnkey systems, stand alone appliances, video cards and software packages, and also covers disk recorders and servers aimed at post production.
The NLE Buyers Guide is designed to help professionals quickly locate the most suitable products via the search page. The search criteria have been revised and now include application, system type, operating system, video I/O type, cost range, AAF support, manufacturer and product name.
A basic listing with costs and URL is provided for each product, and in some cases, a fuller specification with a product shot and email/web links. The format makes for easier comparisons between systems, and listings can also be printed out using a convenient print format.
In 2001 SYPHA launched http://SYPHAonline.com as a high-quality website that provides free information on all of the applicable products.
Three specialised guides are available:

• The DAW Buyers Guide - for digital audio workstations and tapeless recorders.
• The NLE Buyers Guide - for nonlinear video editing systems and post production disk recorders/servers.
• The Pro Digital Camera Guide - for professional studio and portable cameras and camcorders.

Independent consultancy SYPHA has been publishing equipment guides for the professional audio and video markets since 1990.
