Jan, I was interested to see you were having such good luck with the > AI Tech Pro PC/TV Plus<…> I am using Astound and producing self-running presentations, then videotaping these via the VGA->NTSC converter and a Sony Hi-8 deck. This produces beautiful originals, but when copied for distribution, they are not nearly as good as professional video.< I am interested to know if you are using the "Pro" or the "Multi-Pro". One of the differences is that the "Multi-Pro" is all hardware (I guess) and the "Pro" uses software drivers and of course the "Multi-Pro" is more expensive. I was wondering if you could share any advise on how you are managing to obtain such great results with basically an inexpensive device. – Seriously. I noted that you later stated what you were looking for – >.for what I want to do, which is be able to hook to TV's easily for teaching, AND be able to output decent quality Hi-8 originals of artist's slides<. I was wondering if since you were having good luck producing beautiful Hi-8 originals, that you might want to stick with a system that is working for you and look at the path between your beautiful Hi-8 and your copies. Use a good quality cable and don't make it any longer than it has to be and consider a Time-Base Correcter for copies between you Hi-8 and you copies. A TBC has a myriad of other uses as well as being one of the separator's between home and prostyle video. I am also curious if you hear anything about the RocGen, it is listed in the March-95 Videomaker in the Genlock/Overlay list, and I have read some data on it, but I am still not clear on how it works.
