#VTRs and 3DS
David:
>> Ever seen one of these beasts in operation (The Bandit)?
>> Who makes them?
They are made by a company called Fast Forward, who has been around for
years making time code equipment and other video stuff.
We have been playing with one for a month, since they asked us to write the
ADI drivers for it to run from within 3DS.
It works as advertised! No frame accurate deck required! It's a mini
Abekas that you can have in your own house! <g>
The original version had 32 megs of memory in it, which would run about 25
seconds of video, they are just now finishing installing a SCSI hard disk
that will allow it to hold up to 20 minutes of real video!
Talk about a true non-linear editing system within the reach of most 3DS
users! We are talking around $8,500 including the 2-gig disk drive!
