Apple Blurb about XL video

They talk about Catalyst for a little bit:

Fame at last.... ;)

Daft Punk actually ran on 5 x G5's... but it was catalyst not FCP

Diana Concert was on 3 Mac pros - 2 got built onsite due to long lead time - they actually turned up the day before direct from china!....
Couldnt have done the split screen on the my-tix without the crop border feature and being able to re-order the image live (30 secs before a cue!)

Live earth was on 2 Mac Pros using HD SDI inpt for camera fx for I-MAG

LOTR London is just about running on an old G5 (due to budget) and just about staggers through... should really be on a MacPro though...

George Michael was transfered on to 2 catalysts earlier this year after numerous problems with the previous playback system.

Must post some pics at some point...

It's also SAMSC Designs Catalyst v4 - not High End!
XL certainly have had a hugely busy summer. Simon and I were flat out.

This brings up some very good points about the future of Catalyst.

Booked solid. When have I got time to take holiday?

I can say, the workaholic in me is envious of you both being so busy to be booked solid.

Its sometimes difficult when your colleagues turn in to your biggest competition...
