JNJ, turns out Miro didn't have a working prototype of the new PCI D20 (not D2) card ready for NAB. Those who saw it said they were dissappointed. Still I've decided to stay linear with Hi8 for now and await this development before taking on NLE. I'd rather wait if this means less artifacts, etc. Waiting will give the E-IDE drives time to break the 1 GB barrier where they are presently stuck. And time for PCI motherboards to drop in price. Anyway I'm having fun with my Magni G-Lock (VGA Producer Pro) card for now. I do need a TBC since my overlays really show up the tape's jitter noticeably. Other than waiting on Videonic's Video Palette early summer ($899 retail but with loads of functions) do you have a recommendation? I have one offer on a used TBCIV but at $585 it's just too close to the anticipated street price of the Video Palette for me to go for it. Thanks. -jts
