#DPS PAR, quality
3 messages in this thread
Greg, We are very interested in the DPS PAR board,,, but have concerns about
the quality,,, We shoot, edit, and animate strictly in BETA SP, our clients
request and demand only the highest quality,,,Can the PAR outputting in
component mode come close to single framed BETACAM,,Has anyone put out a PAR
demo reel that has been output to BETACAM,,,We are ready to buy is the quality
is right (pc version)… Thanks,,, David — Training Media Services,,,,
David,
The PAR and the MAX (with only one disk drive) can be concidered "sub-BetaCAM
SP" at a throughput of 3-3.5 MB/sec. The MAX Matrox Animation Xpress) with 2
disk drives, it can do 7 MB/sec thruput and would be BetaCAM quality.

David:
I would not have you think that any of the three PC digital disk recorders, the
PAR, MAX, or Bandit, will equal your BetaSP.
They will come close, and at times look similar, but not be a replacement. In
a high end production house, the PAR is extremely useful for a test render and
preview system because of its speed and ease of use. There are some clients
who can use it for final output, but that depends on the markets you are in.
