Hi don I don't want to debate the PAR and MAX but you have good points. I thank you for your comments. 1. I do realise that the PAR is a DDR I think the discussion was about the type of output different systems can do 🙂 2. I do agree with you 100% but it just comes down to who you are talking to as far as a client. Some can except it for broadcast tv and some can't, its black and white. I would like to ask if you have scoped the PAR, because when we did this there was a definit difference. All I can say is that the MAX was rock solid. The PAR was not so solid. Can't you give me your opinion. Thanks. Just a small note in my opinion, allthough not worth much, 🙂 I think the PAR is one of the best products in it price range. As I said before the two systems are hard to compare as the target markets are not the same. It's like this, you have a pc with 3DS but if you had the money you would get wavefront and a SGI as an example. 🙂 Both do just fine in producing animations. But we know which one we would take if we wanted to be flexable and productive with great output. 😉 3. The MAX is very close now to no compression. Give it a little more bandwidth and it will be there. Some of the only differences between the MAX and a Abekas (thanks for the correct spelling):-) is the abekas is 4:4:4 better sampleing rate and no compression. Not to bad if I say so my self. p.s. I know there are other differences but I just wanted to point out a few things. The $ question well Im in canada so if I talk about prices its not in u.s. $. Yes the MAX is much more expensive but as in anything, the more you pay the better the technology. (not all the time mind you 🙂 ). It's an easy answer if you can afford the MAX you get quality output. If you can't you get the next best thing the PAR. There is no in between. You get what you can afford. If I could have afforded it I would have gone further. 4. As per usual the point can be mistaken on the e-mail system. 🙂 🙂 What I was trying to say was that the accom abekas type of system would be used in the film industry for the level of quality. Yes, you are correct it would not be used for the output to film. Sorry about the mix up. 5. Sinple answer I agree. 😉 6. As I mentioned before, I offer both options to my clients frame by frame or the MAX. But after I bring them into my office and show them our sample tape and real time output from all three systems and video of the scoping process they make there mind up very quickly. 95% go with max system. 7. I would agree here also, but that the accom system is cheap but you need a box the go with it and it is not that cheap. A complete system that is not a dog, would set you back about, don't quote me on this, $35000.00 to $45000.00 with everything. definitely more expensive that the $10000.00-$15000.00 for the MAX everything included. Please don't forget the computer. AS I said above the compression is not a issue with the accom or abekas systems but soon it will be the same with the max. I enjoyed the exchange of ideas, please get back to me about what I have said. Have a great day and I will chat again soon. Mark Rasmussen
