#Record NTSC of FLI
7 messages in this thread
We would like to record a FLI to NTSC composite in real time.
We have the Targa+ 16/32, DiaQuest DQ-422, and Animator Pro. I've been told
that there is a way.
By creating a FLI in 3DS, importing it to Animator Pro, then doing
something with the Targa+. But it gets to be all smoke and mirrors from
that point forward.
Can anyone lay out the specifics for us. Do we need the TPANIP program
from Truevision? How do we run a FLI on Targa in real time?
What mode should the Targa+ be in?
I know you are thinking 'This should be posted on Truevision'. Well, it
has been…but no real specific information came from that.
Your direction would be greatly appreciated…as always.

well you 3/4 the way there. first make sure you have the ani pro driver for
the targa. then from ani pro set the screen size to the appropiate targa
rez.(ok first set the targa up say in mode 9 with tmode). then just load
the fli and record to a vcr. you must also have the appropiate cables also.
the targa 16/32 will output ntsc,rgb,or s-vhs so if you don't have the
correct cables look in your targa manual and you will see a number for
cables-to-go , call them and they can set you up. also if you need the
targa driver its here somewhere in the libs, i think in whats new section.

Sherwood,
When using the Anipro Targa driver, the res should be set to 640 or
higher on the Targa+. This GREATLY increases the playback speed of the
animations, ( there's mention of this in the driver docs somewhere). You
would'nt believe the difference in speed when set to 640 x 480, at least on
my system. It's almost real realtime! well, maybe you would believe it.

yes your correct it is faster. i think the higher you go in rez the faster
it plays on the targa. i don't know why but its nice.

Steve,
You need the AAPro Driver for the Targa+. It should be in one of the libs
here, BRO:ALL KEY:TARGA should find it for you, if not, contact your dealer.

Stephen,
To add to Sherwood's reply, set your Targa+ to 640 x 480 resolusion
( tmode 17 ). Your Flics will play back much faster in that mode.

Thanks to all for your input…
This forum is a tremendous asset to those of us supporting and using 3DS in
a production environment, while we are still learning all the capabilities
of the Autodesk products.
Hopefully, as we learn we can contribute to others questions, as well as
all of you have supported us.
Thanks to all…
