#Sanyo GVR-S950
Got a Sanyo GVR-S950 today (Computer controlled single frame recorder,
see VTU p88). Looks cool so far. Used color bars to stripe the tape
and then laid a 360 frame animation to tape only to notice that the
color bars bleed thru into my animation. I guess from now on, I will
stripe with black! Live and learn… The animation looked great
after recording over black striping. The computer control seems to
work well. Paid $2795.00 which is probably not the best deal I could
have got, but my dealer has to make a living too. Give me a week or
two to work with the new deck and I will post a more detailed review
here.
On another note… Has anyone else noticed that when you use the
"Play Framestores" button on the "Render" dialog, that the "Last
Frame Displayed:" number does not display correctly? Any counts from
playbacks simply display on top of the last number displayed in the
box. Makes reading the current frame number almost impossible. Just
felt like complaining. Reloading the scene clears the old number,
but what a hassle.
