Thanks for the info about DPS. Do you happen to know that is the current running price for the board ? Sounds like the board has alot more application rather then play back only ? Are we looking at a possible Abekas A66 in an AMIGA ? Best Regards Sze

>Do you happen to know that is the current running price for the board? I think it retails for $1995 and sells for around $1700. Then again, I am not sure about street prices. >Sounds like the board has alot more application rather then play back >only? This board is capable of playing/digitizing in real-time to the HD with a TBC-IV ($995) but it is NOT designed as a off-line editor. The frames it playsback MUST be in sequencial order on the HD (SW takes care of that) so ANY editing will quickly destroy it. It is marketed as a Animation player and for rotoscoping. DMIs BroadCaster (EditMaster) IS a off-line editor and is capable of playing anims and editing captured video, which is probably why it is taking them so long to develop it. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>>

Hi Thanks for the reply and INFO. You mention that the unit is design for rotoscoping. Do you happen to know if the player will emulate any of the Video Disk recorder on the market such as the Abekas A66 A64 or the Acoms ? If it does do emulation the DPS unit will be one hot item !! By the way does the DPS unit read and/or output SMPTE time code ? Best Regards, Sze C
