Message #176791
Hi! The PAR system previously offered has been sold. I thank all those who responded. — Karl A note — I would recommend this approach to selling equipment. I was able to manage information over the network and only give my phone number out when a serious offer was being…

Par 1.5 / Network
Message #158470
Hi! I recently set up a PCI network card and connected it to the company's network. While logged'in, I tried using my usually reliable PAR/TBCIV/ twin 2217A setup and tried to delete some ani's, and create a new project in an effort to grab stuff off the net. Instead, the…
Yep, I do run late nights, sometimes to dawn. My real job is computer game development, so its not all that bad 🙂 Expand is a program that I guess is available from the DOS directory. I never used it before Jamie's walkthrough, so I am not so sure of…
Hi! I spent some time with that myself. I knew, according to the documentation, the references to .PRJ Final Render — this type is ANI+WAV What that means is 752×480 Final output to the PAR + a Wave File that can be 16-bit 44khz. Jamie at In:Sync walked me through…
Razor Pro .PRJ for PAR
Message #154745
Hi! Recently installed Razor Pro 1.0a, the included PAR MCI drivers, Video for Windows, etc on a 24Meg PAR/TBCIV syetem. The manual suggests using PRJ files for Final Render to PAR w/sound. Where can I find this option in the Razor Pro environment? None of my file type scrollers show…
No, its a toy! Its just great to make money playing with toys. — Karl
Hi! Thanks for the responses on Razor Pro Info! I have been looking forward to someone doing the "obvious" with the PAR/TBCIV setup — one of those high quallity video secrets. And it is surprising Adobe hasnt caught on. In one of the more recent messages, Jamie mentioned a minimum…
Hi! I have only recently heard about Razor Pro through this forum.. I do plan to get a demo once the pro at the local shop returns, but before then, had a question… How closely does Razor Pro work with Project/Ani Files on the PAR card? Do the files need…
Thanks! That suggests there is plenty of bandwidth to run an interupt driver in background.
Amazing, that is JUST the Laserdisk I used, Empire Strikes Back THX. I also used Criterion's The Player. I could even pick up the drop outs found on the original video. I have found that with Letterbox video, you can pump up the Q Factor into the 20's. Also, I…
I have been successful with animated texture maps generated by PAR coming off TGA's translated to my normal hard drive. I took a captured image from broadcast (about 180 frames), stuck it on a quick JumboVision sign, and animated 180 frames. Most cool. I have not yet spend much time…
Definitely include myself in the "PAR Satisfied Customer Club"! Been running a PAR/TBCIV/2217 config for about 2 weeks now. I was looking for an affordable high quality video capture system, but did not expect the results I got recording from svhs laserdisk. Phenomenal! It takes a really good eye to…
