Angelo – Thanks for the information, your name rings a bell, I was thinking did we meet at Autodesk a couple of summers ago in a multi-media training course, and also at a TrueVision seminar awhile later in L.A.? If you're based in L.A. I think we did. But regardless I appreciate your input. Matrox is going through some major changes, and defintely seem to be going in the right direction. The time is right, no doubt. So here's some questions. First, how well does the CCIR version conform to FCC standards? Second, I'm assuming that you need a component monitor to view rendered images as the board has no RGB out. For alot of us I think this is another fork in the road. My system is RGB based but to stay in Broadcast with the way things are going it looks like component all the way. Which means for me a new monitor. Add $1500 min. to the cost of the board for a monitor. Hmmm… The CCIR version does have composite out (correct?) which is good for checking colors in NTSC and that is an advantage. How will the realtime record / playback output, component? Thanks again and if you've got any ideas or suggestions they will be much appreciated. -JE
