As I shared in the Casablanca Expert Blog - Macrosystem AG is exhibiting at the IFA 2011 Technology Show in Berlin, German (September 2-7, 2011). On the MSAG website is it mentioned that the company will show a brand new model - the Casablanca SL-1000.  Here is some additional information about this new product - thanks to Google translation of this German language website: http://www.pr-video.de/aktuell/index.php

The New Casablanca SL-1000. HD Video Editing for Professionals
The Casablanca SL-1000 is the specialist for high-definition video editing, only equipped with hardware and software components you need for cutting HD footage really. Import and cut AVCHD material as quickly and efficiently as you did not know before. Export your movies on a USB drive for use on TV viewing or on Facebook, YouTube or your web page.

Extend the functionality of the Casablanca SL-1000 as required by peripheral devices such as a Blu-ray burner - and software products like the Bogart Silver, Gold Edition, or additional effects.

The highlights of the new Casablanca SL-1000 at a glance:

• Processing of AVCHD footage
• Direct display of HD material during processing (cutting, trimming, splitting, ...)
• Export the finished video in AVCHD (MTS), or individual scenes in AVI format
• Expandable with peripherals such as Blu-ray burner or external hard drive
• TV connection via HDMI
• Compact housing dimensions with a unit height of only 7 cm
• Software Features: Bogart SE with Arabesk 4 5 Basic Edition
