Chris, The Perception is going to be a PCI based Playback board (with the optional real-time video capture daughtercard it is also a recorder) with composite, component, and S-video outputs and (optionally) inputs. They say that their 10bit, 2x oversampled video encoding will provide >60db bandwidth video for very crisp, detailed video. It works under Windows NT so you can really throw some horsepower at the effects rendering engine, be it Razor or Adobe Premiere or Media Vision, etc. It will use high speed SCSI II A/V drives like the Seagate Barracuda series and in its higher quality modes will give you about 4 minutes per GB. Audio will have to be handled by a seperate audio board. DPS's PAR is very popular, and deservedly, and this is the next generation… -John
