I just bought the RocTec Video Card from Tiger Software (1-800-888-4437) It is
high color (65,536 colors) up to 800×600 and up to 1024×768-256. It has S-VHS
output(to RS-170 spec) and Video Genlock input overlay. Cost is $399.00 It has
an external fader (between Video in and VGA) slider control ($99.00). I have
been using various VGA-to-NTSC converters (cheap ones for two years with good
results). When 3DS2 renders a still it shows the results in high color. So I do
all my action shots in 256 colors and put all my pauses in hi-color. I do all
my output in real time from RAM (16Megs) or from a 10ms 1.2Gbyte drive ($3000)
and a 8 Meg smart disk cashe($2000). I can render 5 to 10 seconds in real time
without a disk seek glitch. I just hook these segments together to make the
final video. By putting my money in Disk and cashe I get a fast developing
system too. Buck
