Pete:
I saw a Personal SFC writeup in a Dallas computer rag. There are a few
tradeoffs for the price, of course. Like you have to have a deck that
generates its own SMPTE if you need to use timecode. It will not capture,
so no rotoscoping is possible yet. It will soon support Firecracker and
some other buffers/formats but still is limited to the NewTek 3D product.
The price, though, is right! I am forwarding the description, etc. to the
SoftVTR people so they can "evaluate the competiton". Thanks for bringing
it to my attention.
