>Do you happen to know that is the current running price for the board? I think it retails for $1995 and sells for around $1700. Then again, I am not sure about street prices. >Sounds like the board has alot more application rather then play back >only? This board is capable of playing/digitizing in real-time to the HD with a TBC-IV ($995) but it is NOT designed as a off-line editor. The frames it playsback MUST be in sequencial order on the HD (SW takes care of that) so ANY editing will quickly destroy it. It is marketed as a Animation player and for rotoscoping. DMIs BroadCaster (EditMaster) IS a off-line editor and is capable of playing anims and editing captured video, which is probably why it is taking them so long to develop it. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>
