>> same options Denise, Some other hardware cards have other features like synch generators that, depending on your situation, may or maynot be very useful. Also, there are no software only controllers for parralel controlled VTR's (older decks). My current rule of thumb is that go to hardware control for older parallel decks and software for the newer 422, 232 decks. That's assuming that you are only interested in animation control. If you are going into video production as well, then the question is not so simple. If that is an option, the sync geneator of the Diaquest product or going with a V-LAN system has appeal (V-LAN is a video local area network which is based on packet communications much like a computer LAN is. A V-LAN ADI driver ships with 3DS). I'd try to find a 3DS dealer who can help'ya configure a system that's right for you now and in the future. Some of the dealers on the forum are in a list I compiled a while ago called DEALER.LST (or .DOC or .TXT). There might be one close by. Ang
