#.tga to YUV
6 messages in this thread
After much difficulty, and assistance from a number of good folks here, we have
finallu been able to render 3DS3 directly to our A-66. However, it is far from
perfect. We are dumping component into our Composium first. We obviously do
not want to tie-up our $250 K box for such purposes.
Apparently, what we need now is a utility to convert .tga files to YUV so we
can squirt them directly to the A-66. Do you know of such a beast? If so, we
would love to know about it.
Rendering directly to disk recorder is a wonderful thing. As a test, we
rendered an animation to a Betacam BVW-75. It took 20 minutes from our
machine. We then rendered the same animation to the A-66 and it took 6
minutes.
Any info will be greatly appreciated. Once we finally get all of this
resolved, we will post appropriate info here.
Mike,
Did you ever check out the ASDG Exabyte to Abacus program. It converts images
from a variety of formats to YUV and then you can stream them from an Exabtye
8505 to your A66. You'd have to buy an Exabyte but its also great for storage.
The interface runs under Windows as 32bit app. SCSI controlled.

Thanks, John…I was hoping to avoid buying the Exabyte. I'm starting to
waver, though…
Mike,
ASDG is definitly the way to go. If you don't want to invest in an Exabyte tape
drive (and I don't see why not) use the ASDG software to convert to YUV and
then transfer the files to the A-66 via Ethernet.
