John, My name is Gary Meyer; I am marketing director for TAO Media Systems. If I may add a suggestion: TAO Media Systems has Editizer software for controlling VISCA in AB roll setup–this software also lets you control the Videonics MX-1 from the editing controller. You can store the MX-1 transition settings individually for each edit event–up to 16,000 events. The package costs $695 list and includes what you need to plug into your computer–Windows or Macintosh (Mac version is just being finished). EVO-9720 is supported with TAO's Editizer-9720 software and allows cuts editing directly from your PC or Mac. Editizer-9720 also provides the above-described switcher control for several different switchers. Editizer-9720 solves the one minute limitation on insert edits by automatically appending extensions to your EDL: If your event is 1 min, 20 secs, Editizer splits it into one event of one minute and another event of twenty seconds. The insert edit limitation is treated in a similar manner by automatically setting up and performing a second pass resulting in video and audio inserts being possible. This one is $695 also. You can reach TAO at 1-800-TAO-EDIT (826-3348) for more information. Gary
