Hi John, I'm going to wait to see whether Miro DC20 is optimized for SCSI!! DC1tv with SCSI is a real pain, though those with EIDE really get good results and setup is simple.. Are you SCSI or EIDE?? Best, Tom

#DC1tv comments
Message #3965
A copy of comments to from MIRO that I hope will prompt some conversation and solutions here: Thank you for your comments Rainer (MIRO), >>>probably HDSPEED gives no correct values because of the activated cache options for your harddisk. We experienced it very difficult to get 100% results with actual…
Hi John, I wouldn't buy the DC1tv again, though I think its a fine deal at the price. I want better image quality and with cheaper bigger drives that can handle the data that should be true at a price I can afford soon 9but not now. Word is that…

Miro Prmiere hdrv speed?
Message #3879
Thanks Jan, Yes I found UPGRADE.EXE on the Adaptec forum that ennables 32 bit access.. Installation is only tricky in that you have to reinstall the original Adaptec software if you've added cards since installation the 2940W, THEN install UPGRADE.EXE
#Miro Prmiere hdrv speed?
Message #3559
I'm a new Miro Premiere products user (in fact new to PCs… x-Amiga) and I'm having trouble getting anything close to full performance out of my Miro boards. Right now I can only get about 75% JEPG out of the DC1tv board. It may be a hard drive problem… but…

#Seagate or Micropolis?
Message #3277
I'm about to buy a 4 GIG drive to operate Premiere. Anyone know of any problems with either the Seagate FAST/WIDE SCSI 2 Barracuda (found it for about $2000) or the Micropolis 4221AV Fast SCSI 2?? ($1725) The Barracuda has a larger buffer cache, but I've heard they run hot……
Hi Marc, I just bought DC1tv, Premiere, to run on a Pentium 90. I finally found a way to get time code in. There's a module for Premiere made by DiaQuest called "DQ Time Coder" it is primarily software that ennables all Premiere's batch capture functions + waveform & vectorscope.…

Hi Richard, Amiga sure. Great machine. There's lots of foot dragging on the buyout… evidently previous owners trying to protect themselves from financial scams they pulled just before the collapse. Did they steal from the till?? Was the Amiga actually commercially successful and those clowns raided the till?? Very possible…
Hi David, Very interested in your advice to Richard. I'm trying to enter the Non-linear stream.. sounds like you're farther along. I include my note to Richard. Hi Richard, I've been looking at this same stuff for the last 2 months. I've worked on the Amiga since it came out…
Hi Ken, I send you a copy of the note I put into the forum… Looks like you're farther along the same track I'm trying to enter. I've been looking at this same stuff for the last 2 months. I've worked on the Amiga since it came out but am…
Hi Richard, I've been looking at this same stuff for the last 2 months. I've worked on the Amiga since it came out but am reluctantly having to deal with what looks like the end of a great machine. Still, the BEST hardware at anything close to the price is…
Digitization boards
Message #2486
Anyone with info or advice on boards?? I looked at the Miro board but it has no Sempte input or way to digitize sempte with the video… that's a big problem for me since I need to create edit lists that can be run on a machine based system. the…
>>I have a Diamond Stealth 64 with 2 meg of dram. It doesn't have any hardware to assist in full motion video scaling. I usually don't pay attention to whats on my vga monitor. I judge from the s-video output of the miro board. >>>>Is your output full screen?? Do…

Hi Michael, Sorry not to be the one to be able to answer your questions… but I'm desperately searching for info on putting together a Premiere system, Windows vers. Here are a few questions if you can take time to answer them: Does Premiere work well for you?? Bugs?? Is…
Hi Darin, No answers for you.. but questions from a would be Premiere, Windows user. I need help figuring out what to buy. Here are a few questions: Does Premiere work well for you?? Bugs?? What machine are you working with? Do you use a SCSI or IDE hard drive??..…
no, interested in making an offer?
Yeah, I was talking about previewing hard cuts only, without doing a build… that what Eric at Noah Ji's claimed… is the playback real time or is there a slight delay as the hard-dirve goes to the next sequence. Ususally that's a function of buffer size. Mostly, i wanted to…
Hi John, I'm not currently a Vlab user. Will forward a few very informative communiques from real ones though. What's this about Pentium? Vlab is strictly Amiga yes? Are you looking at other software harware ?? I've been looking at Priemiere for the last 1.5 months. It is GREAT software…
Yo Ed… many thanks for the great update. Have checked out MAC land and prices and its out of sight, impossssssible for me right now. Plus, MACz are switching to PCI bus, which though wildly faster than Nubus, is still 9 months minimum off… then cards have to be designed……

Hi Ed, Thought I'd try to connect about Vlab again. I'm, nearly, jumping on the wagon. If I can truly work out an edit script and do clean audio editing (audio that can be locked up to video tape and inserted ) at the price of Vlab… its a big…

Post V1.86 IFF halftone?
Message #180097
Help anyone?? Everything works great on my canon 4000.. beautiful print output. However I can't figure out how to get a full grey scale rendition as a saved IFF image. What I get is always B&W, 2 bit planes. I save my PS file from ProPage as an 8bit graphic,…
Hi Paul, Talked to Eric at Noah Ji's… lots is popping there. They're developing what appears to be a truly remarkable 060 based machine (not an Amiga, exactly but an Amiga-like and will run all programs that Retina supports). Anyway, Vlab does not necessarily hog a whole partition (but of…
