I own and Use DCTV, it's a small box that plugs into your RGB Port. The
Output is Quite nice considering it's price and I use it to output my
736*482 rez DCTV animations in realtime to SVHS. I record using a JVC
HR4700U which is their least expensive SVHS machine as far as I know. The
results I get are quite nice and have been broadcast on Cable TV(Manhatten
Cable's "The Chronic Rift" has a 55 second anim I did as it's opening)
I use Black Belt Systems Imagemaster R/T to compile my DCTV anims and do
Morphing and other FX. The Limitations are you won't get a Rock Steady
Frame Rate so you'll actually have to Gueestimate running times of your
animation and salso it's output is a bit SOFT. It is an NTSC device and is
quite nice. It's an Excellent unit and comes with a very good paint prg.
I suggest you get a demo at your local Dealer or try to find a User Group
or other peron to demo it for you.
Good Luck.
