Replay TV
Up to series 5500 ( I Think) automatically skips commercials.
They got sewed or something, so every model after that doesn't automaticaly skip them.
You could get a refurbished unit or something...
I work in a studio and we have two Chyron Duet LEX's.
They are great, amazingly fast. - Meaning I can build a quick animation with multiple layers and hit play - no waiting / rendering / building / whatever.
They can also play back video / audio with an internal clip player.
The down side is the price. A new Duet LEX with 1 graphic channel (as opposed to 3 or 4) will run 60k ish.
I work in a SDI studio, and have had the oppertunity to work with many cameras and edit footage from a few different camera. I have used Gl2's XL1 and XL1s's and also the Panasonic DVX100a. The DVX100a has been the greatest camera I have ever used, 24p is amazing, and Final Cut Pro HD lets you take out the 2:3 pulldown the camera induces on the 29.97 video to make it seem 24p. It does not actually shoot 24p, the video looks and feels like it though, you can actually edit it in a regular NTSC sequence at 29.97. The DVX100a has a servo zoom but you can flip a switch and the front of the camera and use a manual zoom, for super fast zoom, and on the LCD display, there is a number correlating with the zoom position. Same with the manual focus, there is a number on the LCD display to help with rack focus shot. Yes, the lens is not interchangable, but with a small camera, you are usually as close as you can and as open as you can. The blacks on this camera and just ungodly. It percieves color amazingly well. I would highly suggest it, once you try it you'll have to buy one.
