Test Drive for new clients and the just plain curious ...

The confirmation test drive is a required step for all new drive clients. It gives you the opportunity to ensure compatibility and functionality of your system and the workflow. (We are not testing your abilities, so please do not get offended by this requirement.) We'll send you your choice of one of our USB 2.0 Firewire 400 or USB 2.0 mini drives loaded with several test clips in either 1080/24p (23.98sf) QuickTime (Blackmagic codec) 10-bit uncompressed, DVCPro HD or HDV for MAC users or 1080/24p (23.98sF) AVI (Blackmagic codec) or HDV for PC users to try out on your system. The clips are of footage in the public domain and are designed to test functionality and for you to work with the display options (including the inverse anamorphic) and compare the best-light and flat transfers. There is an option to test NTSC, if you prefer. Here's how it works:

• $15 for each clip that you order (see the PDF order form for all your options.)

• you are responsible for the drive deposit (pre-authorization on your credit card for value of drive)

• you pay for shipping, $10 handling fee, and insurance both ways

• you have 3 days to download the files from the time you receive the hard drive; please keep in mind the drive is a transportation device, not a rental unit. Communication with us is key. If you need more time e-mail us with your request and circumstances. Please be aware that if we don't hear from you a late charge of $25 per day will start accruing on day 4. You are required to e-mail us with the tracking information on the return shipment date.

Fill out the the Test Drive Form for HFS (MAC) or Test Drive Form for NTFS (PC).
