Casablanca Avio / Casablanca Avio DV *)

The all-in-one video production solutions combining video editing, effects, titling and audio dubbing. You can do all of this with ease on the Casablanca Avio, Avio DVD or Casablanca Avio DV.

The Casablanca Avio is perfect for video film hobbyists and anybody wanting to enter the world of digital editing. You do not need to know your way around a PC to use the Avio, since it will not confront you with computer jargon or complicated techniques. The system is ideal for users wanting to concentrate on creating videos using state-of-the-art digital technology without having to face the confusion and difficulties of today's computer technologies.

And you will not need a stack of equipment either. All that is required is a device like a video camera for adding your footage, and a TV monitor or television set. You can record the final result onto a video cassette using a video recorder, and in the case of the Avio and Avio DV, you can transfer it back to your video camera. So what else will you need? First, some nice raw video footage and the desire to turn it into a really first-rate film, and second, an audience to gaze in awe at your masterpiece.
