"In terms of video, we do a lot with AV for presentations and research (both gathering data and in presenting it). We use prosumer level HD cameras and microphones for ethnographic research. We've done a number of large projects where we essentially 'live with' study participants for hours on end. As such, we lean towards smaller, less intrusive cameras. We utilize Adobe Premiere Pro for in-house video production (occasionally Final Cut), and typically present via PowerPoint with embedded HD video." —Q&A with Tim Davis, Director of Digital Operations, Jacobs Media, Bingham Farms, MI
