I have posted this message in TRUEVISIONS Forum but they havn't answered in a couple of days, soo I'll try here. Maybe some of you know more about this then I do!? —————————————————————————– I have bean using a Targa+ board for some time now with 3D Studio and TIPS. I have also an Diaquest 422+ with Action animator and QuickPass option. I was just wondering what the next quality step would be? I live in "PAL-land" so check that your not refering to NTSC specific features! AT Vista ? TrueVista . Pro ? I have heard about ATVista and that there are a couple of possible paintprograms for it, but I havn't heard about TrueVista before last week! What is the difference between them? Does programs that support ATVista atomatically support TrueVista? If not wich program does support ATVista? I need to : – Get my field rendered frames out to PAL with my Diaquestboard and the framebuffer. As I have bought QuickPass, I want it to be compatible with it! – Digitize the same way as above! – Use the framebuffer as a "Paintbox" for signs and alike for NEWS-like broadquast painting. Need key-signal out from frambufferboard! -M.E

Martin: I'd vote for the AT-Vista for your applications. It will run at up to 1008×486 NTSC recordable (we use that regularly) and the equivalent in PAL. It has a separate alpha out. This plus Inscriber for titling, Hi-Res QFX and/or TIPS for painting is a killer combination, BTW. They have an excellent ADI driver, and, if you look, is one of the few boards supported directly by internal drivers in 3D Studio.
