FOCUS Enhancements, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCSE), a worldwide leader in video production and conversion technology, today announced it has begun shipping the MX-4 DV Digital Video Mixer. MX-4 DV resourcefully combines twelve inputs (eight analog and four DV), four-layer video capability, and a built-in graphics store for high-performance live productions. As a result of a unique partnership with 12 Inch Design LLC, the MX-4 DV ships with 50 graphic backgrounds and 50 matching lower-third foregrounds. These graphics are royalty-free, can be layered with live analog or DV video, and can be combined with over 700 transitions and numerous other processing effects.

"No other sub $5,000 mixer on the market today features an integrated graphics background/foreground store and four DV inputs," said Jason Overhulse, product manager for FOCUS Enhancements. "Further, by including the royalty-free matching design elements from 12 Inch Design, our customers can easily create a distinctive multi-layer look."

"We were very impressed with the MX-4 DV Digital Video Mixer," noted Nicholas Napp, vice president of 12 Inch Design. "FOCUS Enhancements and 12 Inch Design share the philosophy that professional quality production tools should be reasonably priced. We are excited about the out-of-the-box flair our graphics bring to their mixer, and how FOCUS Enhancements can help us expand from desktop motion graphics to live production and digital signage markets."
