For many of us—early adopters or not—2005 was the Year of HDV. But there was much more to 2005 than HDV. We saw scads of significant products released that had nothing to do with HDV and of course, event and corporate videographers the world over continuing to do dazzling, innovative, and effective everyday work with or without HDV. To provide readers with a highly subjective “Year in Review” report, we asked EventDV’s many esteemed and opinionated columnists and contributing editors to reflect on the new products they saw in 2005 and tell us what struck them as the most exciting, and the biggest boon to their own work.

Every computer's motherboard comes equipped with a graphics card, but as more end-users become digital content creators, maxing out mainstream PCs, the "standard" factory-installed graphics card simply cannot keep up. So when you need to upgrade, where do you turn? There are over 40 companies ready to offer their products, but before you drop $100 to $2100, read on.
Recessions make us think small. Distinctions blur. The digital studio monitor market isn’t as healthy or profitable as it’s been, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of large-screen, luminous, high-resolution displays out there. Market conditions be damned, display manufacturers are thinking big and bright—and so should we, as we survey the current crop of LCDs, plasmas, and rear-screen projectors.
Synopsis: NewTek's Video Toaster [2] is head and shoulders above the sub-$2,000 competition in terms of performance, capabilities, and feel. The only issues are whether you can justify the $3995 purchase price, and whether you can stomach jumping into a non-linear editing environment built more for TV producers than the average computer user. It's clearly the hottest hardware we've reviewed to date, with true, real-time operation for every tested effect. But it's clearly overkill for most DVD and Web producers, and the interface is best-suited for consistent, rather than casual users. This makes it better-suited for professional videographers, rather than corporate departments with infrequent video projects.
A handful of PC manufacturers like HP and Gateway are trying to feed a new kind of machine into the home computer market and position it as the entertainment platform of the future. The Media Center PC, TV-ready and preloaded with Microsoft’s Windows XP Media Center Edition, boldly matches living room luxury with professional PC power. But is it mismatched with its target market?
Suppose you are putting together the "ultimate" DVD or HD production studio--which type of monitor will serve you best?
