#Scala MM300
John,
You said and I quote:
>>I would love to get Scala MM300, and I may still someday. I an keeping my
Amiga purchases to the minimum for the time being.<<
Understandable. Gotta save up for everyones X-Mas presents. 🙂
>>Although I render on the Amiga, I compile to .AVI and play the presentations
with CBT Express from AimTech. Sorry about that. CBTX is a bit weak, and
expensive, but easy to use.<<
Well, the CBT Express is specialized in Computer Based Training as the name
implies. If it works, great. Although I do have to ask if the text and page
transitions are as exciting as the Amiga version of our software? Probably
not, due to the kludgy way graphics are handled under Windows 3.11.
>>How is the Scala product for the PC doing?<<
Doing fine. We're behind schedule, but we're very close to finishing a beta of
the product. Product will definitely be out by the 1st quarter of next year.
BTW, I've been doing some research on PC based genlocks. The sad truth is,
there isn't much out there. There are probably a hand full that are
worthwhile. Including Magni's 'Video Producer Pro'. Not cheap though.
Everybody sitting down? OK. List price is $2,200! Has about the same
features, functionality and performance as the SuperGen SX. I've seen street
prices at about $1,700. Other manufacturers, like Matrox and Targa, have
stopped making genlock devices. The way I figure it, the bean counters will go
through sticker shock and then look at our Amiga solutions again, with more
respect! 🙂
