#Looking for Used Betacam

You need to move out here, closer to Hollywierd! And having the main Sony
facility in the area doesn't hurt, either!
I think the perfect setup (for us, at least) is to have the laser for
computer output, and a PVW-2800 with an editor to control the laser and the
deck. It would give the best of both worlds, and allows you to insert edit
onto the tape if you need to, and add sound. Maybe even incorporate our
3/4" decks into it for A/B/C roll in the future!
As I mentioned in my previous message, for the price of a good transcoder to
go from RGB to Component, you could practically buy the laser unit and use
that! <g> Until the BetaSP decks have RGB input, or the Vista has
Component output, I'll stick with the laser! <g>
When you need to do any editing, you will need two units, why not make one
the laser?
Viva le Differance! That's why they make (and we sell) both!
