#Opinion on Non-Linear
Hi Sam
Received a flyer from them date 4/27/95 that starts off –
"Where's that #$%&~$! video you asked for? – We're tempted to say,
"it's all in the software" (ever heard that before?), but we won't".
They go on to say that, despite outside pressure, they want the demo
video to be done with Plum (novel idea?) so it will be ready in two
weeks. So far they're not really late yet.
They also claimed to have taken 400 orders at NAB and I'm sure they'd
like to deliver them.
Further, a list of Q&A's states:
Plum will ship in July '95
PCI bus will support 5:1 compression which is BetaCam SP quality
No RAID required
Plum uses motion JPEG, variable 50:1 to 5:1.
With 5:21 ratio, you get 3.75 minutes per GB of disk
Current Config requirements:
100MHz Pentium PC or faster
Triton PCI chip set on MB
32 MB EDO DRAM Memory
256 Kbytes Synch Burst cache .. 512 KBytes is better
Adaptec 2940 PCI to SCSI controller (Fast and Wide with two drives+)
They will be showing Plum at InfoComm in Dallas 6/15-17 next.
That's a short update.
