Adobe releases over 650 fonts

converted to OpenType format

Adobe has announced the release of its

first set of OpenType fonts from the Adobe

Type Library, including more than 650

converted Adobe Type Li-

brary (ATL) fonts. Two addi-

tional sets will be released

separately in the third and

fourth calendar quarters of

this year. The converted fonts

provide users with better

cross-platform document

portability, simpler font management, and

enhanced glyph coverage.

Adobe OpenType fonts can be in-

stalled and used alongside PostScript Type

1 and TrueType fonts, printed to most out-

put devices, and embedded in PDF files.

OpenType fonts are natively supported on

Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS

X, and are compatible with other operat-

ing systems via ATM Light, a free system

software component from Adobe.

For a complete listing of available

OpenType fonts, see

www.adobe.com/-

varies from US$29 to US$299. A special

introductory price is available upon the re-

lease of each set of converted fonts ranging

from US $19 to US $150. PostScript Type 1

versions of most converted fonts will still

be available through the Adobe web site.

Sony DVCAM Master Series tape

delivers increased data integrity

Sony has just announced the release of its

new DVCAM Master Series tape.

According to Sony, DVCAM Master

Series tape utilizes a 100 percent cobalt

Hyper Evaticle II magnetic layer which in-

creases output by 2dB and achieves a 75

percent reduction

in dropouts com-

pared to consumer

grade DV tape. Sony says that even after

more than 150-plus passes, DVCAM Mas-

ter Tape shows no noticeable degradation.

In addition, wear and tear on both the tape

and camcorder heads is reduced through

optimized surface finishing. This also

makes it ideal for 4x high-speed transfer in

tapeless news operations.

DVCAM Master Series tape is avail-

able in mini and standard cassette shell

sizes. The tape includes an integrated 16

Kbit IC memory chip to hold ClipEdit

metadata to streamline workflow from ac-

quisition to the editing suite. The new

tape comes in a wide variety of lengths (32,

40, 64, 124 and 164-minute cassettes), and

is protected by an anti-static lid that helps

shield the tape from dust and dirt.
