LVR-5000A
Todd, sorry for not replying to your fax sooner. I'm sure you don't want me
calling collect from Scotland. From my brief trial the LVR seems to be the
ideal recording unit for animation and I envy you having one looking for a
purpose. If you could convert it PAL I'd take it off your hands. My local
supplier quoted me $450/day hire rate!
To control the LVR unit I am using a V-LAN PC card called the Animax from
Videomedia. The V-LAN system can be expanded to control a number of video units
and is more suitable if you intend to get into video editing. I believe you can
control the LVR directly from the serial port by using software drivers
supplied by Greg Pyros (on this forum). If all you want is 3D Studio capability
then this would work for you.
I don't know what video card you are using. I have a Targa+ which looks good
but if you want to get the best quality then the ATVista would be better
matched to the LVR as this is a higher resolution.
