Apple now <br />sells the software only as part of the bundled Studio. <br /> <br />Final Cut Pro is recognized as an industry standard for video and film production. It is the <br />same software that is available for volunteer use at CTV. <br /> <br />Recommended Equipment (note: this recommendation will certainly change <br />pending Apple’s anticipated new product announcements) <br /> <br />Apple Mac Pro Computer: <br />1. Two 3.0Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xenon Processor <br />2. 13 GB RAM <br />3. 250 GB SATA 3Gbs Hard Drive for system and applications <br />4.

The DSR-11 has a FireWire connection <br />which would allow it to be connected to the Mac Pro and used to capture videotape. It can <br />handle both the DVCAM format tape used by the city camcorder as well as the miniDV <br />format tape that is used with the CTV camcorders. <br /> <br />Bids <br />Include: <br />• Apple Final Cut Studio 2 software
