*The Classic is no longer in production but upgrades and add- ons are still 
available for our flagship editor*
Everything you need in one trim case to professionally edit your videos. 
Includes a full range of transitions and image processing effects, 3 stereo 
tracks, and a high resolution titler. Removable 9-to 50-GB internal hard 
drive, so you can work on multiple projects. The user friendly interface is 
clear, simple to use and easy to understand. Simple trackball operation 
using only your monitor or TV. Lets you begin editing immediately since no 
hardware or software installation is required. Allows you to edit full 
screen video with frame-precise accuracy. Lets you create slow motion, 
backwards motion, stutter effects and freeze frames. Supports three audio 
tracks so you can integrate music from CDs and add your own comments. Gives 
you freedom to create your own effects by combining A/B rolls with image 
processing options. Allows you to choose from a range of completely 
scalable fonts, unlimited color combinations and variable scroll/crawl 
speeds. Draco Casablanca is a complete video editing system that delivers 
the power, functionality, and capability of a high-end professional 
nonlinear system at a fraction of the cost. Draco Casablanca provides the 
data rate and picture quality required for MiniDV and Beta SP video, and 
can also be used with S-VHS, Hi-8, or VHS equipment. The Draco Casablanca 
was developed in Germany by MacroSystem GmbH in conjunction with Draco 
Systems, Inc. and is manufactured by Siemens. System Processors Motorola MC

*Render accelerated system takes approximately 25 seconds to render a one 
second 2D effect. 3D effect rendering varies based on video quality 
settings, and starts at 180 seconds per one second effect. **Rendering 
times are doubled for a 2D effect and take 3-4times longer for a 3D effect. 
There is no difference in picture quality between the two systems.
