For a forum on the FAST VM GO MultiBven. The DPR Non Linear editing board is
expected to ship in September. The basic editor controller and switcher has
been shipping for over a year. The CG software has been shipping since MAY.
As for the PAR requiring the targa+… this is not so. The targa+ will give
you added features that I like to have but I could do without. I would not go
out and buy one but I already had mine before PAR. At any rate there would be
no need to get a T+64 as you wouldn't be using the features, just consider the
targa+32 as a luxury with the PAR doing most of the work.
24 hours? Well, IMHO… your supervisor is an idiot! Expenditures of this
nature should be well thought out, engineered if you will, for YOUR particular
needs. I spent six months studying what would work for my needs before
commiting to purchase. What works for me is certainly not going to be perfect
for everyone including you. I wish you much luck because you're going to need
it by making such a hasty decision. If you buy the wrong stuff what is going to
be your excuse? I'm not trying to be a wise guy… just telling you what went
through my mind with that 24 hour decision requirement. Can't you put in for a
dollar amount and select the final list of equipment later? Or, just a vague
listing of hardware and software?
