Dell m409wx DLP Projectors are always popular for presentations and movie/gaming events. Accepts video input from VGA, HDMI, S-Video, and Composite (RCA) video. Comes with a VGA cable and convenient carrying case.
Flip Ultra HD camcorders fit conveniently in your pocket and record 60 minutes of 720p HD video. Use the built-in USB plug to connect it to your computer and it will be detected as an external hard drive containing videos encoded using the H.264 codec.
Canon Vixia HF20 HD camcorders store full HD video in either the built-in 32GB flash memory or on SDHC cards (not included). Use USB to connect it to your computer and it will be detected as an external hard drive containing videos encoded using the AVCHD codec. (Note: Standard hot-shoe mounted mics like the Rode Shotgun mic will not fit on its Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe.)
Rode Shotgun microphones are a professional choice for getting high quality audio. Hook them up to camcorders with an accessory hot shoe for best results. (Currently,
they work best with our Canon HV30 HD camcorders.)
Proline tripods are high-quality units for keeping your shots steady. We recommend using a tripod whenever possible to improve your videos unless you're trying to simulate an earthquake.
LG DVD Burners are perfect for people who have Netbooks or MacBook Airs who need to read or write CDs and DVDs. (Note: Burners will most likely not play a video DVD without a software DVD player installed on your computer.)
Sony MP3 Recorders can store over 11 hours of recorded audio in MP3 format. They also have a mic-in port for optimal recording quality.
Iomega 320GB USB hard drives are almost small enough to fit in your pocket, and they fit a ton of stuff! Use it to store a big project short term or backup your computer's contents before doing a system restore. (Note: USB hard drives cannot be used for editing iMovie 09 projects.)
Finally, we suspect hordes of patrons will crowd their way into Meyer for a chance to check out the awesome Creative Extigy SB0130 External USB Sound Card. This amazing feat of engineering crams the following features into one slick little package: High Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) exceeding 100dB using high linearity, low distortion 24-bit converters with resolutions of up to 96kHz. Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) for 6-channel analog speaker & headphone output. Supports Sony/Philips Digital Interface (SPDIF) format input signal. Hardware Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for precise sampling rate conversion, Creative Multi-Speaker Surround (CMSS), 3D audio algorithm processing, digital mixing or bass management; as well as accurate Dolby Digital processing. Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise at 1kHz (A-Weighted) = 0.006%. All we can say is, "Wow."
