Still previewing your video projects on your computer monitor?
Then you're not seeing what your project really looks like. You're not seeing differences in color, the interlace and color coding artifacts, and the image overscan. And working with non-square pixels on a square pixel computer monitor means your image is always stretched or squashed. Being able to see your project previewed on a real NTSC or PAL video monitor lets you work accurately and more quickly.
Echo Fire displays the current After Effects composition or Photoshop document on your NTSC or PAL video monitor, letting you see how your artwork really looks.

FireWire Video Output
Echo Fire connects your computer to your video monitor using a standard OHCI-compliant FireWire interface and your camcorder, VTR, or FireWire-to-video converter, giving you an inexpensive video interface that doesn't need another PCI slot.
Realtime Video Previews in Adobe After Effects
Echo Fire's After Effects video previews include realtime playback, giving designers the ability to see exactly what their work looks like on video without the need to render separate movie files. Because they're disk-based, previews can be of virtually unlimited length, rather than being limited by available RAM. Previews also include audio, making it easy to check for proper audio/video synchronization.
