Our GPI triggering devices are completely different. But I see no reason why it wouldn't work for you just as well. Typically GPI triggering works in preview mode as well. So you wouldn't have to do an insert edit. On my EVO however its a bit different. It outputs a GPI signal at the in-point on playback, which makes it ideal for frame grabs. And its a piece of cake to write a little program to do the preroll, Rec play and GPI trigger. So for me it would work very well to have the GPI trigger frame grabs. This deck was very well thought out in terms of the needs of animator. Do you remember my telling you about being able to play back field recorded video and not see the field shimmer. I've learned that it is a result of an interlacing technique which they appropriately call "dummy intelacing" and the beauty is that it looks just like a standard still image. You can't tell the difference. So for even fast mostion video like Jim L. was talking about it will freeze an image with no shimmer. If you've got another name for it, cut me some slack O.K.? <G>
