Greg: I have an idea for the PAR. What's your opinion on this. I would like to see some form of RS-422 or RS-232 control for a future version or accessory for existing PAR hardware. It would best be designed as an emulation of a known DT VCR such as the PVW-2650. This way someone with a DT controller could control the PAR in an online suite. What do you think about this? I would buy another PAR to have this capability. BTW: I just ran some tests today of some very clean Betacam SP footage shot with a studio camera from NBC and did some slomo and CAV'd it back to beta UVW-1800 via the PAR's CAV output. Recorded side by side to the original footage we could hardly see the difference. I used BLF of 240 and QF of 17. The Par drive was freshly formated. The PVW-2650 slomo footage looked worse than the PAR. It was too shaky. How about that?
