Don, When the two units were tested, they were run through a relatively standard battery of evals. S/N, Y/C, DG & DP, K factor, etc. I must admit that the actual testing wasn't blind, but it's difficult to fudge test equipment. It's not like we're looking at the images and deriving an opinion. My feelings about the two units are fairly simple. A) The PVW costs more than any of their transportable units, virtually all aquisition is done on their portable units, therefore the PVW is fine for dumping animation to. After all, if you've got a clean stable animation environment, you're working with a heck of alot better signal environment than they are in the field. The BVW units are more expensive, have extra abilities, but produce the same signal strengths and offer no advantage whatsoever to an animation environment. (Especially not to a PC based environment) D2 is an advantage and before I'd set up numerous BVW's I'd fork out a little extra and pick up DVR-20's. In the end, if I thought the BVW offered ANY advantages over the PVW that would be useful to me in my current environment, I'd have one! The money isn't that large of a factor. Thanks for the thread, Paul .
