Video Equipment Review: Bella DV Keyboard with Jog/Shuttle Controller (page 2)

Transformational Editing

The DV Keyboard is a very reasonably priced addition to any editing suite, and it will undoubtedly last longer than your current computer. You might also consider their color-coded Professional Series keyboards, especially if you are in a teaching environment. These 'boards are functionally equivalent, but generic white keys are a dime-a-dozen (or less) and the special colored keys add $60 to the price.

If you spend hours each week at your edit bay, Bella Corporation's new DV Keyboard will transform your editing in very tangible and pragmatic ways.
