Ron,
I guess my main focus is DTV. What I want to do is to use the computer to
control my VCR harware, both in and out; Utilise the computers graphic
capability to seamlessly add computer generated graphics(bullet lists, Clip
art, Titles etc) and animations to the same video footage. Produce a final copy
of "The Presentation" on Video tape for use by my client. (School, Wedding,
Sport). I am trying to improve on my production overhead in time and dexterity.
At the moment I must look like a "one armed paper hanger" as I manipulate two
source machines, a AV mixer and the record VCR. I know I could buy an edit
controller but a good one would cost as much as a computer and I would still
need the Computer generated stuff. Why pay twice!
However I like to be creative and there may be a devlopment into multi
media in the future. I want to keep my options open (and also have fun).
The only reason I have been looking at the MAC line is because my computer
now is an Apple IIGS. (A very nice stable platform) and I would be able to
network it to a MAC easily. I did not know that the C4000 could emulate a MAC.
Does this emulation read ProDOS disks? Could be that this config would get me
the best of all worlds.
Thanks again for your help.
