For hardware, maybe. I had an amiga when the toaster was just 1 year old. I was the technical director for a rock concert at UF. We had 4 cameras live switched with the toaster and I had a 5th roving betacam that I used for inserts. The concert lasted 9 hours and featured 10 bands. The show looked great. Then I tried to use the thing for Lightwave and it was sooooo awkward. That's when I went out and bought 3DS. Haven't regreted it at all. Seems the Amiga has always had the lead for low end video but the PC comes through sooner or later. In addition the stuff for the Amiga, many times is really buggy so maybe it's best to work out the kinks on Amiga heads before we see it on the PC. <g> PS I didn't own the toaster just used it for that one project. I also got a headache from that darn monitor after an hour. Back to the PAR: Do you have any S/N specs for the targa+ or the ATVISTA? One thing I think the PAR excells over the targa+ is in this spec but I don't have any from truevision to compare. The chromes look highly polished with automatic refl. With the targa+ the same rendering at 512X486 looks more like a dirty chrome car bumper. Like it has a coating of road film. I applied just a touch of hilite.ixp and the higher res makes more points of hilite triggerable pixels. I'd love to see what Greg's 1008 pixel rendering looks like on chromes. I need to try some glass next with a 2-5% auto reflection at this resolution. You should have your 6 Pars by now.<g> What HD are you planning to use?
