#Sony EVO-9800A
9 messages in this thread
Thanks to those who gave TBC info on stopping camera movement. Animated
opacity map appears to be the ticket to showing oil flowing through
semi=transparent piping. Thanks again. New question, have access to a Sony
EVO-9800A. Am video ignorant, but have seen various messages on this forum
recommending the EVO-9650 (think that's the right number – why is that the
model numbers for electronics have to have more alphanumeric combinations than
there are people on Earth?) and the Panasonic AG-7750. Is this 9800A usable for
single frame animation recording??? Advice, help appreciated. Charles Yancey

I have an EVO-9800 and it does not support frame accurate insert editing. The
9800A maybe different.
The 9800A does not support insert editing. It is frame accurate as a source
vtr in an editing system. The 9850 is the next step and is frame accurate as a
insert edit recorder for an editing system, but it also doesn't do single frame
animation. Isn't SONY great.

Larry…PMJI I see you're familiar with the Sony Hi 8 Stuff. I just left a new
3DS client today that showed me a 2 year old Sony EVO 9700.
He uses this for his master Hi8 and goes out to four Panasonic AG1250's to make
copies. What I need to know is, will his Sony EVO 9700 allow him to do single
frame animation? If not how could he best utilize this machine in a 3DS
environment?
Thank you in advance.

The best way to utilize the 9700, I guess would be to use it to record FLC or
FLI files (animations) real time. There has also been some talk in the forum
about the new Matrox compression board that allows for some real time recording
as well.

Thats what i was afraid of…no way to do single frame animation.
Thanks Larry.
Yes Sony has a different machine for every technique. Other than source deck I
can't see why anyone would want to do frame accurate editing with Hi8 anyway.
Hi8 was originally intended for acquisition and as such specs were designed
around that purpose.. Everyone demanded Sony convert the 8mm format for editing
and now look at all the crippled editing systems we have. You buy a Hi8
editing deck and then you find out you can't do video follows audio. Audio
follows video works but who edits that way?
Exactly, Hi 8 is simply not a good editing and animation format. It's good
for camcorders and aquisition but if you want to do much after that as far as
editing or any post production work there are some limitations (both in the
available equipment and the format) for any frame accurate work.

Do you have any experience with the drop out symptoms and headwear with Betacam
SP metal tape? I've asked many people about this but only a few engineers have
admitted there is a problem just as in Hi8 metal tape. It also shows up in
MII.
