>Can you get prime time NTSC broadcast quality with one?< Well, I have yet to see a true definition of "broadcast quality", other than meeting the technical specs for signal transmission. The Amiga PAR is, from what I have heard, Beta but not Beta SP quality. However, this was based on the original system. Newer Hard drives and software are continually improving matters, and I believe the PC version does the compression in hardware. All this allows for a higher "quality setting". The best thing to do is find someone who has one, and look at the output. Just as analog audiophiles claim they can hear the loss in digital sound, videophiles will claim digital video is not "broadcast quality". Me, I like CDs, and can't tell the difference. The ONLY time I've ever noticed artifacting on a PAR animation at the highest quality setting was on a still, and even then, you gotta look for it. On the other hand, the short answer is probably "no". 🙂 Kent
