One thing that drives me crazy is that it doesn't have RGB or Component capability….professional? Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta

/* One thing that drives me crazy is that it doesn't have RGB or Component capability….professional? Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta */ Could you elaborate a bit? What are you trying to accomplish, and what kind of capability (lacking) are you refering to… very interested. -dave

I don't own the 2000 but my use of the Targa+64 relys heavily on the cards ability to capture and output RGB video. The 2000 can apparently only capture and output Y/C or Composite video. There's a big difference between each format with RGB being the best followed by Y/C and Composite. I'm not slamming the 2000, it would be a card that I would consider strongly if I was to put together a non-linear system. I really wish they would have included better inputs and outputs. I hope they plan to upgrade soon. Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta

You might wish to contact Truevision about this too…. the more they hear this complaint, the more they're apt to act upon it. I was specific about this need and I was assured it was avaialble in the 2000. Might have been a demojock out of his league too, we don't always get the whole story. Case in point, the Autodesk demo of 3D Studio had a demo job showing the cow channel. He went through the motions and when he was done, showed a movie he had done earlier to show final results, and he mentioned that everything we had seen was in 3D Studio. A caregful glance at the flick showed a camera glare effect only available with certain IPAS routines. Not the whole story. 🙂 -dave

I just saw a note today regarding an upgrade of the T2000 to handle the higher end video signals. Straight from the horse's mouth. Brent Bonet – POP! Multimedia Atlanta
