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. Greg Pyros
