Has anybody out there seen a side by side comparison of a finished project (animation) done in DCTV as compared to Toaster with a single frame controller and related hardware? I realize that there is a huge difference, but I would like to see it quantified somehow. For example "if Lightwave is the master tape then DCTV would compare as a fourth generation dupe". I have a Toaster but no frame controller or BRS 811 type VTR. Without the top end hardware is Lightwave to ADPro to DCTV the only choice? Is there something in between that might work for getting close to real 24 bit. If there was a cheaper method for roughing out the work I could then rent the equipment to lay down 500 or so frames to tape when I have the rendered frames all ready to go. Any thoughts or comments?
