Apple Introduces New Video Utility
 
CUPERTINO, Calif.--September 7, 1990--Apple Computer, Inc. today introduced
VideoSync version 1.0, a Macintosh system software extension designed to
improve the video recording of Macintosh monitor screens by standard consumer
video camera equipment.  When the VideoSync file is added to the Macintosh
System Folder, the user can adjust the timing of an Apple display card from the
Monitors Control Panel.  The resulting Macintosh monitor image appears stable
when viewed by an external NTSC video camera.  In addition, there are several
third-party products that allow users to create NTSC timing for directly
recording Macintosh screens to a videocassette recorder.
 
VideoSync requires any Macintosh II personal computer; Macintosh System
Software version 6.0.4 or later, or A/UX 2.0 or later; an AppleColor
High-Resolution RGB Monitor; and a Macintosh Display Card 4%8, 8%24, 8%24 GC,
Apple High Resolution Video Card, or Macintosh II Video Card.  It is also
compatible with some third-party displays that support Apple video cards.
 
"VideoSync will provide all types of Macintosh users with an easy-to-use,
low-cost tool for recording high-quality Macintosh monitor images to
videotape," said Doug Camplejohn, product manager, Apple Video Integration
Products. "Developers can also integrate VideoSync into their own applications.
This product is the latest example of Apple delivering on its commitment to
integrate video with the Macintosh."
 
Developers can license VideoSync directly from Apple as a stand-alone utility
for video integration applications.
 
VideoSync is available immediately through APDA for $35.  Those interested in
obtaining a copy of VideoSync and documentation can contact APDA in the United
States at 800-282-2732.
