David: No, the frame numbers on the PAR are just that, frame numbers. No SMPTE generator, and no way to access it externally if there was! Here's the PAR IPAS info: PAROUT is needed if you have a network. It allows you to totally automatically take your rendered Targa files out to the PAR in order so that by the time your rendering is completed, your files are already on the PAR. PARCTL is a PAR player that runs as an IPAS within 3D Studio. It allows you to play and step through animations. PARIFL will automatically create IFL files from your PAR animations for use within 3D Studio, allowing you to view the first frame of the animations first to make sure you have the right one. They are sold as a set of three, called the "Action IPAS PAR Library". They are available directly from us or from your friendly local 3DS/PAR dealer. They go for $295, or a $100 upgrade from NDUMP.
