PAR vs Options
To All,
I'm presently using a Targa 16/32 card and a Panasonic AG-7750 VTR for all my
animation work, but now I'm considering the purchase of a DPS PAR card.
However, there a few questions that I'd like to get answered before I do. I
would like to keep using my ISA machine so the PVR is not an option.
* How does the image quality of the PAR compare with other systems using
real-time decompression like the Animation X-Treme Motion X card from TVOne
Multimedia Solutions and DVision's CineWorks package using the Intel Action
Media (AM2) card ?.
* Does the PAR have any real competition in it's price range and if so, what is
it ?
* The PAR uses compression to store images. Will my output actually look
better using the PAR's 752×480 resolution vs the Targa's 512×486 frame by frame
recording technique ?
* Will the Sound Blaster Pro (16 Bit Stereo Sound Card) work with the PAR and
Razor Pro ?
* Would a non-linear digital video system be a better value such as the
D/Visions CineWorks kit or the ///Fast MovieLine system with the Motion-JPEG
option, or is image quality compromised with these solutions.
Just thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance.
