Many of the resources here are listed in Appendix H of the book. However, due to the ever-changing streaming media landscape the links here may be more current than those listed in the book. In addition, the list here will grow over time.

Equipment Manufacturers

Obviously, more equipment manufacturers are on the market than I could possibly mention, but to get you started here's a list of some of the manufacturers I've had good luck with.

Audio

Video

Computer Hardware

For your computer hardware, I'd recommend dealing with a local vendor. Video editing can be a tricky business, and dealing with customer service over the phone just doesn't cut it. If one of your hard drives goes down, you want a new one -- immediately.

Following are links to some sound and capture card manufacturers that you may find helpful.

  • Adaptec - SCSI controllers, FireWire cards, etc.
  • ADS - FireWire cards, accessories.
  • Aurora - high-quality Mac capture card.
  • DPS/Leitch - high-quality PC video capture system.
  • Echo Audio - high quality soundcards.
  • Matrox - high-quality video capture cards.
  • Pinnacle Systems - high-quality video capture cards.
  • Soundblaster - budget capture cards.
  • Viewcast - budget to good quality video capture cards, and the innovative SimulStream system.
  • Winnov - budget to good quality video capture cards.

Equipment Vendors

There are obviously many more vendors out there. I'd recommend buying locally for a number of reaons, but sometimes the prices online just can't be beat.
