David:
>> [Abekas] Please provide more details based on our voice discussion on
>> Tuesday. How would that solution compare to LVR?
Just kidding! The Abekas, even the $16,000 model, is only a part of what is
needed to record animations! On top of this, in addition to an Exebyte tape
or TCP/IP protocol network, you _still_ need something to record it onto!
A basic Sony D-1 tape deck costs $115,000, or if you can settle for D-2,
these start around $55,000. It's probably not worth buying one if you will
only be recording BetaSP on it, and even those decks are $16,000 over and
above the price of the Abekas itself.
