#3ds to video
It seems to me that the only options for transfering animations to video that I
can afford are s-vhs (Panasonic AG7750 – $5000) and hi-8 (Sony 9650 – $4200).
But what do I need in addition to the deck?
I called a video dealer to get a price on the Panasonic deck today and asked if
there are any other decks that are comparable. He said that the 7750 was the
only thing in s-vhs that could do what I wanted. He said that if I wanted to
go Hi-8, I could get the Sony for quite a bit less and it includes a time code
generator and does not need a VTR controller. Apparently, 3ds controls the
deck itself.
I guess I need a frame buffer. That would be a Targa 16 or Targa 64. The
frame buffer converts the VGA image to composite video, right?
Do I need a time code generator?
On the surface, it appears that the Hi-8 system is the way to go.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
