All, I had a phone call this evening from a friend of mine that is doing freelance computer grahpics for a company called "Flying Pictures" here in Auckland NZ, regarding the "PAR". He needs to know if there is a "PC" version of it as this company uses networked PC's with Studio 3D and wants to be able to produce the highest quality output it can. So my question is, what output does it produce ie S-VHS, Betacam, and or one of the broadcast format's..???? Also would it be possible to use an Amiga/PAR setup to take targa output from a PC and then transfer it to tape (video) if there is no PAR for the PC….? My friend seems to think that a half gig HD on the PAR will allow about 5 mins of animation. I seem to recall that some of the users here were getting less than that and that a one gig HD was the better way to go..?? Wish I had the funds available to get into this work, however what I have got, is now going into a two storey barn to live in. Thanks for any info….. Laurie Carroll AKL NZ Longdistance Autopilot
