I would like to invite any readers of this topic to seriously try and compare a single dedicated controller (hardware and/or software) with a V-LAN based solution. There are more V-LAN units used by professionals than all of the competitors combined…. no brag just fact. V-LAN is cost effective (a V-LAN express lists for $750) V-LAN units also have downloadable drivers (no charge) for many more transports that the others don't even acknowledge. V-LAN is standard on most SGI workstations and Indigo boards. V-LAN compatible products are sold and manufactured by other companies such as Grass Valley, Chyron, RGB, AVID, etc. There is a reason why it is the standard of the industry. Support is second to none—-world wide. The controllers you have mentioned don't even provide multi-machine synchronization, nor can they ever effectively be used or upgraded to A/B roll editing or even implemented into Microsoft's MCI drivers.
