Melvin and me at MTV
I hadn’t seen my good friend Dave Lee in a while and thought I’d connect with him via email today. When I was finished typing, I realised that it would make an excellent update on this site as well – so let’s have a look at “What’s happening in Jay’s Life”

HDCAM features 4 audio channels and can handle all common framerates between 24 and 30Fps.
