TV Studio Production Computer

ln today's world, hands-on learning experience  is incredibly important to many fields of work, especially film and broadcasting.  Penn Trafford has implemented a video class to jump start this unique form of training, serving as a catalyst for the growth of personality, individuality, and creativity in students. With 137 kids in the program, equipment can be sparse; we are constantly in search of new tools to help aid in the creation of projects.

We are trying to plan for the future.  When the current Tricaster (our studio production hardware) fails or becomes obsolete, we will need to replace it.  Tricasters can be very expensive and the planning to purchase starts years before it's acutally needed.  I try very hard to find "demo" units that are slightly used and more affordable.  LIke this one http://www.dvsdirect.com/xd860.htm
