#Targa+/Illuminator Pro

I've been using the VTV-2000 for quite a while for tests and the results
can be very good if you're careful. The images are still prone to tearing
if you try to change too many pixels. I have used it for some fly-bys of
post and beam frames, which have a fair amount of small detail and complex
shadows, at 320×200 and am happy with the end effect. The frames are
rendered as 24 bit TGA files and the VTV-2000 calculates the delta info at
16 bit and uses good flicker filters. 640×480 is also possible and although
the quality is better the amount of disk space used is much greater. The
board also comes with some good software to control the speed of the flick,
add or delete frame, and display still images on screen in a number of
ways. I recommend the board as a method to get good test flics or for those
of us who can't afford single frame or are waiting for the "new
technology", whatever it may be.
