John, Welcome to the Amiga forums. I have heard many good things of SCALA products and look forward to your comments on the forum. Speaking of comments, I have heard that Scala is developing a Control-L/Infrared controlled A/B roll editing software for use with Scala multimedia products. Can you comment on this at all? I would be very very interested in such a product. Tom

Yes indeed we are working on a hardware project called Scala Echo EE100. It has a Control-L (mini-jack) connector and a send/receive infrared connector. An EX Module (Expansion Module for Scala MultiMedia) will allow you to edit (cuts only) and insert Scala presentation graphics into your productions. Of course, the infrared feature of EE100 will allow you to make it learn any infrared device (eg. Laserdisc Players, Compact Disc Players, TVs, VCRs, etc.). If anyone is interested in the Scala Echo EE100, drop me a note at the address below and I will be happy to send you a fact sheet: Scala, Inc 12110 Sunset Hills Rd.

John, Thanks very much for the info on the Scala Echo EE100. I'll be sending you a note requesting a fact sheet. Any chance that it wil ultimately be upgraded to handle A/B roll editing? Tom

AB Roll editing will be difficult with the typical video equipment involved. Frame accuracy would be difficult. However, we are looking at hybrids of the EE100 technology. I'll keep you posted. Sincerely, John Chang Technical/Sales Support Scala, Inc.
