Entry DTV for $15K ?
I am a non-Amiga-literate, 9-5, mid-life crisis type who is intrigued by
the entrepreneurial potential of DTV. Am wondering what a low end,
entry-level suite would cost. Can you get in for $15K?
From hanging around the Amiga fora, following seems to be what is needed:
Amiga 2000HD
1084S monitor
NTSC monitor
accelerator board (which is where I would splurge – considering
68030, 50MHZ, max RAM, with 210HD)
Toaster
2 TBC's (Kitchen Sync?)
Quality camcorder
Quality output deck
Quality portable tape recorder
Assorted paraphenalia, mike, headphones, tripod, basic lighting,
software, etc.
What else?
One of the big questions is format. Seems like the underlying rule is that
the better the input, the better the finished product – which will probably
be straight VHS. But, it's not clear if I should be thinking about working
in Hi-8, SVHS, or BetaSP. If I found a good price on a Sony CCD-V5000, for
example, would that fill the role as "quality camcorder?"
Any replies, comments would be greatly appreciated.
