Markham, Ontario -- March 30, 2000 - Digital Processing Systems Inc. announces dpsVelocity-2D, the newest configuration of its powerful modular NLE system. dpsVelocity-2D provides a comprehensive array of professional real time, dual-stream editing features and the highest possible video quality, compressed or uncompressed -- from only $2,999.00 $US.*

dpsVelocity-2D consists of DPS' latest-generation compressed/uncompressed video hardware, recognized across the video industry for image quality, seamlessly integrated with DPS' advanced NLE software. Options include a powerful real time 3D processor as well as an extremely flexible set of I/O capabilities such as DV, SDI and digital audio. "With dpsVelocity-2D, DPS has broken the $3000 price barrier for extremely high quality real time dual-stream editing, yet kept the growth potential of the system. No other manufacturer offers such a rich combination of features at this price point," stated Brad Nogar, President of DPS US. "The system has the ability to handle both compressed and uncompressed video in the same project, real time parametric audio EQ, network editing, real time rendering, advanced trimming and editing capabilities, 12-bit wipes and more and it's all wrapped up in a refined and stable interface."

"dpsVelocity-2D will allow us to serve the education, corporate, industrial and special events markets with a broadcast quality product based on the same hardware as systems already in use by major broadcasters worldwide."
added Paul Streffon, National Sales Manager, DPS US.

"Since the founding of VantagePoint Imaging in 1994, we've used DPS products exclusively for all our animation and video output," said Michael Brown of VantagePoint Imaging. "The dpsVelocity-2D system has amazing capabilities right out of the box, and we couldn't believe how easy it was to expand to a full-blown 3D configuration as our business and services grew. VantagePoint clients include Arvida, Delta Airlines, and IBM, and we've learned we can depend on the quality and performance of all DPS products. dpsVelocity is no exception."
