Ihope someone can offer a little advice as to which framebuffer I should get. I currently have a Targa+ 16/32. I have ordered a Diaquest DQ-422+ and a Sony UVW-1800. I am considering either an ATVista (with a PAR for previewing); or a Matrox Illuminator Pro with the Animation Express option to accomplish the same thing. I'm leaning towards the Illuminator because it offers (Y,R-Y,B-Y) color difference output to match the UVW-1800. However, I have been told that the Illuminator exhibits some color banding (something about the encoder/decoder). Also I learned the Animation Express is an EISA board. I guess I needed another machine anyway. Any suggestions? Todd
