Buz Multimedia Producer

The easiest way to get multimedia into your PC, personalize it, and share it with others!

Most PCs today are multimedia-capable, but they are missing the most important multimedia of all...yours! You could have the fastest Intel MMX™ technology machine in the world, but you can't get your movies, your pictures, your sound, or your music into it. Introducing Iomega's Buz™ multimedia producer–the easiest way to get multimedia from camcorders, DVD-ROMs, CD-ROMs, VCRs, and laser disc players into a Windows 95 PC! It's a video capture and output board, combined with an Ultra SCSI controller. And with a great package of multimedia software and fun tutorials users can:

  • Put their multimedia (video, sounds, pictures, music, etc.) onto their PC.
  • Personalize or edit it using the easiest software around.
  • Share it with their friends, family, co-workers, etc., using a Jaz® or Zip® disk, a video tape, or even the Internet!

 

Iomega has made its mark by making the difficult easy to use and affordable. Buz multimedia producer was designed to be the multimedia producer for the rest of us. In fact, Iomega has added a ground-breaking feature to Buz multimedia producer called a "Buz Box" that makes it even easier to use. The break-out-box puts all your in and out connectors for Audio, Composite Video, and S-Video on your desktop so you don't have to reach under the desk every time you want to use Buz multimedia producer. Another breakthrough from Iomega.
