Don >> I do know that for the pro decks like RS422 controlled you can select both LTC and VITC at the same time but the deck has to have the readers built in. << So basically if you've got the readers it should be able to handle it. Interesting. Not that readers are cheap but considering the price of a good editor, I can see where the Fast machine would be an attractive alternative, not to mention all its other features. >>I don't know anything about the Matrox Studio except it has a bad rap for not working well in a production environment. << I think this probably has more to do with the people who are setting them up than anything else. The FAST Video system is sold S.D. by Video dealers whereas the Matrox Studio is sold by Matrox resellers who are Computer Graphics oriented. And the two worlds are still miles apart. Its too bad because I really like the Ill Pro; its an awesome board, and Matrox in general, as they're very innovative.
