Review: Velocity Micro ProMagix HD80A

MANUFACTURER: Velocity Micro PRODUCT: ProMagix HD80A PRICE: Base: $4,079; as tested: $7,999 WEBSITE: www.velocitymicro.com  When I decided to do a review on the ProMagix HD80A computer by Velocity Micro, I realized that it is tricky to do a review on a totally-customizable, high-end desktop computer. The review machine is just one potential configuration, which can be customized to the buyer’s needs, and because a desktop computer is in large part a sum of its parts, reviews are a bit more complicated.

He printed a lot of ABS using this setup,

GoPro Fusion is here!

GoPro Fusion is here! Since I first heard about the Fusion many months ago, and then when I actually got to see one in person at the GoPro 2017 Launch Event, I have been extremely excited to get my hands on one, and see how useful it really is.  Well, a few weeks ago, I got that chance and I’ve been playing around with it ever since.  It’s definitely different than any other camera I’ve used in the past, because

Matrox MC-100 Review

Heath Firestone       January 2013 Matrox makes really interesting products, but sometimes at first glance, it can be difficult to recognize what is particularly unique about their offerings. However, when put into practice, they do things nothing else on the market does. The MC-100 is no exception. It is billed asa mini converter that does HD-SDI to HDMI for 3G/3D/HD/SD.
