Sorry for butting in here but… When I was a Graduate Art Student (over two years ago) and just starting to do small graphics projects I considered ALL the options that were then available for graphics and video production. I chose the opal-vision board because it held the promise of "Toaster-like" functions for less $$$. Even the $600 discounted price for the main board was a stretch for me then, but I purchased it anyway because the kind sounding person at Centaur Development assured me that all modules would be out by that Fall. It never happened. I explained to her that without at LEAST the genlock module I could not use the board for doing business and she said " Any month now…". I must have called every month for a year, and every time the same person told me "Any month now…" Well, I gave up on them and I suggest that anyone else even considering the purchase of an opalvision board take a LONG HARD LOOK at Centaur Dev.'s track record for delivering what they promise. I will put up with A LOT of crap from vendors that I know will eventually come through for me. But I will NOT put up with being LIED to. Guess that makes my position fairly clear… ( Flame-Off… 😉 ) A guy who is now VERY happy owning a couple of Toasters… Neil R. Thompson – SOUTHLIGHT POST ASSOCIATES
