Bella Corporation Introduces DV Editing Keyboards

Bella Corporation announced the introduction of the world's first series of keyboards designed specifically for digital video editing. The keyboards boast an integrated jog/shuttle controller and work with leading video applications including Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress DV, Adobe Premiere, and more. The keyboards can also be used as standard keyboards, enhancing applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Internet Explorer and others.



The built-in, fully programmable jog/shuttle controller allows users to have precise control of timelines and video clips. The outer ring of the shuttle turns 90 degrees in either direction, allowing play and hold at a desired speed. The inner wheel allows for more finite frame-by-frame control -- the faster you spin the wheel, the faster the video moves.



Each keyboard comes with easily installed software that includes presets for most popular applications, while additional presets will be available via a free download from the company's web site, www.Bella-USA.com . Users may also create their own presets for their favorite applications. Also included are Web, email and multimedia keys for added convenience.



The new series of products will be shown for the first time at Bella Corporation's booth on April 7 at the NAB 2003 Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. Further details of the product line as well as price and availability will be announced at that time. Bella Corporation's booth number at NAB 2003 is SL 1667, located in the new South Hall.
