#EVO-9650
I've decided to step up to 24bit rendering (if I can afford it — this is
STRICTLY a hobby) and I was eyeing the Sony EVO-9650 single frame recorder
which has the serial port built-in (and, so the press goes, no need for a
separate frame controller). Does 3DStudio support this machine? Or is support
in the works? If not, why not? And if not, are there any other (relatively)
low cost alternatives?
I have a Cardinal Snap-Plus card I've been using for output (that is, for
playing the FLCs and videotaping them) which supports hi-color (not true-color
but seems very adequate for the thing I have in mind. However, I suspect this
might not be enough even if the 9650 is supported. Do I need another video
card as well?
Finally, if anyone else wants to jump right on in here with suggestions I'd
love to hear them. I'm willing to spend 4 or 5K for a single frame solution,
but really nothing more (if it's more then I might as well wait for the coming
"revolution" when all this stuff will cost less than $100).
