ATC-1000 Plays Hard, Records Everything and Launches on Extreme Sport Scene; Just in Time for the Holidays: ATC-1000 is a Must-Have for Bikers, Skaters, Snowboarders and More.

TUALATIN, Ore. -- Ready, set, record. From the floors of Toy Wishes in New York, today Oregon Scientific launched the ATC-1000 action camera; a hands-free digital camera that is capturing widespread attention as a hot holiday must-have. In years past, the Toy Wishes event has been touted as the official kick-off to the holiday toy-buying season and showcases what's predicted to be hot, next and a "gotta get" gift. This year, the unique action camera will take the extreme sport scene by storm, ready to capture all the action at local skate parks, half pipes, bike trails and more in digital, streaming video or still shots. "All of us at Oregon Scientific are excited about the ATC-1000" says EVP Bill Uzell. "Not only does this helmet-cam record the latest trick, but it offers instant gratification by plugging the camera directly into a TV for instant replays. Plus, it's the only product on the market that's expandable, and at this price point, it just can't be beat."

If instant replays merely tease the appetite, sport freaks can become tech geeks with the Action Lab software which enables quick editing; stitch multiple action segments together and add a variety of special effects. Just download via USB and home-made reality clips can be ready in no time; a quick e-mail shows fellow sportsters the latest footage in either action video or still images. The ATC-1000 captures video at three resolution settings and the standard 32MB internal memory is expandable with SD card, which means more time stunting and more footage to splice. Adrenaline seekers will be clamoring to get their hands on this one - to attach it to their helmet, handle-bar, arm or leg. Both shock- and splash-resistant, the ATC-1000 is ready to capture challenging feats down mountain bike trails, up the skateboard ramp, or across the sky on a hang-glider. Its wireless, compact design makes it versatile enough to go anywhere and it picks up all the sweet stunts, hands-free. Find the ATC-1000 at retailers this fall, (MSRP $119.99 Item #HC18) pop-in four AAA batteries and go to atc1000.com to enter your best video clip for a chance to win an Oregon Scientific MP3 player.
