>> EVO 9650 & AG7750 It's interesting …. I just went through writting two proposals for customers … one for the 9650 and one the the 7750. What a difference in price you can get when you don't need a hardware controller for the 9650 or an extra TCG. The resulting system price was about $2.5k different in price (with about the same animation quality recording possible). Ofcourse, you can't drive other VTR's with the DiaQuest PC Platform and also I under stand that the 9650 has a 15sec limit on insert edits. This lost functionality and future "intergratability" (there's a good Haigism) can be lost on someone who is just starting and may want to do mainly walk-thru's. >> life beyond Diaquest … address to ALL Are there any other controllers out there that people have been happy with. Do they have 3DS modules so that you can control the VTR from within 3DS? Can they do rotoscoping? If they are software only, can the support non-232 decks? Who out there's using'em? Ang
