>>YUV is my shorthand for Component. CAV isn't accurate either. So tell me, what on the Amiga is Component? I use a Toaster on occasion and the owners keep telling me it only does composite. I think there is an adapter to convert Y/C to composite though. After looking the definitions up in the glossary of video terms, a section in the Professional Communications Systems, Inc. Catalog, I find the use of YUV for the most part on this forum inaccurate. I like PCS' glossary because it is very detailed and updated with every catalog release.: YUV is Luminance and color difference signals for PAL systems. Y, B-Y, R-Y. YIQ is Luminance and color difference signals for NTSC systems. Y, B-y, R-Y. Y, C1,C2 is the generalized set of color difference signals Y is luminance, C1 is the first color difference signal, R-Y and C2 is the second color difference signal B-Y. Y, Pb, Pr (the b and r are subscripted) is the designation used in the SMPTE standard. CAV is a simple acronym meaning Component Analog Video. Y/C A set of two signals made up of luminance and chroma where the chroma is at 3.58 Mhz. as in the "S" video set or at 688 Khz as in 3/4 Umatic dub. The above should be of interest to all forum trivia collectors,<g> I have found the use here of YUV interchangeably with NTSC systems when to be correct it should be YIQ. In the interest of communications I have found myself using the YUV term incorrectly. Who knows, maybe PCS will update the definition in next years catalog to mean both NTSC and PAL. <G> BTW my three fans are at PS exhaust, Input to cabinet pressure, and CPU heatsink fan. I would have loved to see the rack mounted system Paul L. designed. I was especially interested in his cooling engineering. Didn't he have 5 systems in a rack and 10 racks or something like that? In the mess I received from DPS I got a cable like the one you described too. I complained and they said those were sent out by mistake. You should contact them and they will probably send the correct one with GPI trigger Fed EX. I finished a job yesterday that the client wanted portions of the 45 second animation at 15 FPS and 10 FPS. It was a simple thing to accomplish using the GPI trigger and insert edit mode of the 3/4 Umatic deck. The edits with GPI and the 5 second preroll were accurate to the frame. It was such a pleasure to grant this peculiar customer request while he waited. Thanks to DPS, and Dave White for the new HEX file! Can you imagine what would have been involved in the old Diaquest days?
