#PAR or FAST
I haven't seen the perception yet but hope to at Siggraph. I still
think in a serious NLE installation these systems are mere toys
compared to the systems that are designed from the ground up as a
NLE. The other complaint I have is that these NLE systems are a
collection of third party everything to make the entire system work.
Really good NLE systems are all proprietary. Some even have their
own computer. That doesn't mean the PVR isn't good, it just lacks
the goodies that the big systems have. At any rate all this stuff
including the AVIDS are still in their infancy. Meanwhile, I stay in
the linear mode with my betacam SP decks and the FAST VM, at least
until the dust settles a bit. <G>
