I agree that in the highet order of things, a seperate, personal choice of
encoder/transcoder is the way to go. But it seems ridiculous to offer a high
res card with only that option. That is why I like the Matrox board. The
output I've seen from both is excellent, and to tell you the truth, I can't see
a difference, and I'll bet 99% of the people who end up seeing animations (they
are not ALL technicians) won't either. The difference between 512x and 720x is
quite large, however, and I think it's a shame that Truevision doesn't
recognize a market above Targa+ and just a squigin below ATVista Digital.
The Matrox offers on board CCIR-601 specs, and that is as good as it gets as
far as I know.
Besides, I do all my stuff on an Abekas. I just wish I could buy a card for
under $2500 that did 720×486 so I wouldn't have to scale everything in VP to do
previews on my deck at home.
Regards, hope you're having fun in Florida.
