For those of you who have been fortunate enough to acquire one of the Yost Group's Release 3 Launch reels, much of the video you saw there was processed with the ASDG Abekas/Exabyte driver. What were your general impressions of video fidelity and resolution? PK

Dear ASDG, >> What were your general impressions of video fidelity and resolution? clean as a whistle. I'm impressed. I'm convinced the Exabyte/Asdg driver to Abekas is the way to go for almost any type of animation outfit that does high quality video. My next demo tape will probably be done that way.

The Windows version is in final beta test now. We expect to start shipping by the end of next week so ordering now will put you at the head of the list. And thanks for that feedback! And thanks to the Yost Group for putting together such a killer tape! pk

I was so impressed I ran out and bought an 8505. So when's the driver going to ship? John "waiting anxiously" Tissavary (La Luna cie)

Final beta test now – should ship by the end of next week. If you'd like, since you have the drive already, you can order it now and we'll send you the beta and upgrade you when we're done. Thanks! pk

On the dual projector big screen setup from Sony at Disneyland Hotel the picture was crystal clear and stable. TedB

Seeing one's work on television is certainly a thrill, but there's nothing compared to seeing one's work on a huge screen – how big was Sony's set up at the Disneyland Hotel? pk

PK If memory serves me right….., never mind the jokes you guys, I'd say the screen was 16'-18' diagonal and the projection was two Sony three beam units each back projecting a seperate field, I presume. Does anyone know how the focused and sync'd those? It really was a great display. I'd like to thank you folks for freeing us from the restraints of single frame recording. Jogging/shuttling is too expensive in time and resources and it's good to have an alternative. Thanks. TedB
