Capture, Edit, and Compress
 Broadway does it all. Grab footage from any source: VCR, camcorder, or stock video library. Then cut, paste, edit sound, add fades, and more. Broadway makes video editing one of the easiest things you'll do at your desktop. When you're done, compress to MPEG, or a streaming format, or output to videotape. There's no simpler, more affordable way to get high-quality video into your everyday applications.
 
1. Capture: Connect a VCR, camcorder, or any other video source to the
    S-Video or composite input on the Broadway card. Full-motion video
    and still frames are captured to your computer and stored on the hard drive.
2. Edit: Video and sound can be edited with special transitions and overlay
    effects to maximize the overall video presentation. Use Broadway's included
    editing software or select from many 3rd party packages such as Adobe
    Premiere, Macromedia Director and Ulead Studio.
3. Compress: Broadway can compress your video when completed. This
     way, you can save your video for portability and reduce usage of disk space.
     Broadway even allows you to save video files in streaming formats such as Real
     Video. This allows web surfers to view your videos instantly, without having to
     wait for the entire file to download.

Because Broadway includes video hardware, it can compress in real time. So a
one-minute clip takes one minute to compress. A software-only system could take up to 20 minutes or more to compress the same clip.

Play your video in desktop applications, on the Internet, in CD-ROMs, and even on videotape.

Broadway has both the cool horsepower and hot video application to get the job done fast. It includes the Broadway PCI card for video capture and encoding, and software that makes it sing. For advanced effects, you can use Broadway with video production packages such as Ulead® MediaStudiotm or Adobe® Premiere®. MPEG for Startling Results

In the alphabet soup of digital video, MPEG stands for the best choice for the Web, CD-ROM, and other channels with limited bandwidth. Broadway's MPEG-1 compression reduces video file sizes by up to 200:1 to conserve precious disk space. At the same time, you get stunning video quality and CD-quality audio. And streaming too. Broadway now supports video streaming formats that let you play back video in real time over the Web.
