>> If your market demands BetaSP quality then the PAR won't do except as preview device, When discussing market requirements, John, it is best not to state such a restriction, Your market will determine what level of beta SP quality is acceptable. Used to be the only quality was BVW beta then came the slightly reduced specs of the PVW, now the UVW. If the market accepts your work on PAR to beta SP and is willing to pay for it then you have given them beta SP market acceptable quality. This is not a technical issue it is a matter of what sells. I just don't think "John Tissavary" can dictate what the market requirements are. I find what people on this forum have told me what will and what won't sell has nothing to do with reality. Maybe what you and others here are really saying is "I hope the market won't accept the output of the PAR to beta SP because I just spent all that $ on yesterdays technology and haven't yet recovered my investment." All I can say is this PAR thing must really be good because it has a lot of traditionalists making alot of unsubstantiated negative claims without the basis of experience or fact. I don't mean to be picking on you, John. It's just that I haven't heard such a rumbling of misinformation about anything in a long time as this PAR. It's as bad as the toaster in broadcast. Everybody says it won't do broadcast quality, however more and more are using it for same.
