Don, It was pretty easy to check out per your suggestions and their is no doubt that my Ill Pro board is running at 720×486. And I'm not even using the latest set of drivers, so I can only conclude that something else is amiss with the Max or the way its been set up. I used 3DS to generate a blue background at 720×486 and rendered to disk, no screen display. I checked with the file info button and the rendered image was listed at 720×486… then I went into QFX using SVGA and turned the ruler with pixels on and again the image showed 720×486. Then I used a brush at 1 which = 2 pixels and painted a white board 2 pixels wide all around the image, saved it out. Then using the Ill Pro utility LoadTGA I loaded the test… The top and bottom showed half the first scanline and the full width of the second line… now that is tight if you ask me. The left boarder on my monitor is probably not quite in registration because I could see a 1/4 of the boarder from upper left down about a 1/8th of the screen… the right side was a complete white boarder. That's it, Ill Pro running at 720×486 as advertised… in tandem with the Max may be another thing and may have more to do with what the Max is sending it, I really don't know… but the Ill Pro is right on! BTW I've been meaning to ask… how clean is a first generation dub of Hi-8 to Beta SP… would you say very acceptable, almost indistinguishable from a Beta Sp dub or… you've mentioned with regard to acquisition and I know quite a few tv stations have gone to using it on hand-held… so I'm curious as to what your perception is… John
