Off Line
This is one of our industry jargon terms that is sort of self explanatory, yet there is also no commonly agreed upon definition. In a very general sense off line means inactive, or not in use. Equipment that is off line is generally considered to be either powered down or otherwise not connected to the system that is in use. Off line editing, however, is a phrase used in post production to describe editing that occurs apart from the main editing of a project.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
