#Matrox Animation Xpress
Anyone using the Matrox Animation Express bundle? It is a bundle consisting of
a Matrox Illuminator Pro card, a Rapid Technology Studio Express card.
From what I've heard, this combination will create "jpeg streams" from 3D
Studio that it saves to a large SCSI hard drive through the EISA bus, then
allow you to "replay the finished product straight to video without frame by
frame animation.
It seems to be very finicky, and requires certain hard drives, eisa SCSI
adapters and eisa motherboards for it to work to its best capacity. It seems
like overkill to me.
Are there any other solutions that offer a better bang for the buck? We're not
really interested in getting very high end broadcast output from this (another
department in the college does that already, and they're already going for one
of these neat systems), we're more interested in a kind of "medium" end.
Any advice on this would be appreciated.
