Mr. Chuck Gloman continues to review equipment and software for Government Video and Videography magazines. He has recently reviewed the Panasonic DXL-100B ($4,000), the JVC GY-HD100 (high definition, $7,500), and the Canon XLH1 (high definition, $9,000) cameras. When cameras arrive, Mr. Gloman usually has them for 30 to 60 days. He uses the equipment and writes the reviews in the first week and then he presents each camera to his classes so they are introduced to it for the first time. Normally Mr. Gloman is the first person in the industry to review and use these cameras and therefore DSU students are the first students to use the cameras. Mr. Gloman's students are the only freshmen in the country at any university to have used the JVC camera in a production. Sony has asked Mr. Gloman to be the first person in the industry to review their XDCAM HD. This is a $38,000 camera that records directly to a 23 gigabyte DVD on high definition. In the future we will not be using tape, only disc-based or hard drive recording. His students have the chance to see and use the newest technology before anyone else in the field.
