Trading 1000 for 2000???!!! What about my GENLOCK 1300, DIGI-VIEW plug in
digitizer and the LIVE!/1000 I am interested in? Are any of those devices
compatibles with A-2000? Also, is there now any VIDEO output board available
for the A-2000: I do a lot of output to VCR with animations, etc… I will very
much appreciate info.

Roger,
Genlock, DigiView and Live! (does that exist?) are not compatible with
the A2000/500. I know of no video output board presently available for the
A2000.
None of the above is 100% positive…just what I have gathered from
reading messages here in the Forum.
Don
Does Live! exist?! Why don't you drop by your local dealer and take a look at
it — I know he has one.
Steve,
Hehehe…when did he get it? Last time I looked (Wednesday) he didn't
have one…or at least he didn't show it to me (I'll have to "discuss" that
with him <grin>).
Don
It was there — you didn't look and he didn't mention it!
Roger,
Of the three units you mention, only one (DigiView) will be usable with your
A2000, and it will need an adapter (contact Newtek for details).
The others should be out in A2000 versions eventually.
Regards, Larry.
Not compatible. Thank you very much, CBM. Bunch of short-sighted toy computer
makers. pinheads. –Ben–
Ben, Thanks for also sympathizing with our latest CBM induced plight! Anyway, I
hate to think of trading up for the 2000 just to have a bigger box full of IBM
compatibility potential; the only thing I am thinking of, are the future
(mythical) FAT graphics chips: I use my 1000 mostly for video/computer
interfacing: titling, animations-on-video tape, genlock effects…. I am also
waiting for LIVE! As for the 2000, one apparently cannot even get a video
output board yet!! Do you think the FAT chips would be adaptable to the 1000?

I'm hoping that they will be — but that's worth absolutely nothing. Waiting
for Live!, huh? Blue in the face yet? <smile> –Ben–
Ben (and Roger)….
But you see…Live! _IS_ here, for sale now.
Don
Don — how much is it? –Ben–
Ben,
I heard a price somewhere in the $200 category…but wasn't paying
attention….it's not a neat add-on…the video was poor…it maps contrast to
absolute levels (rather than dithered levels) so the video ends up looking
"posterized" or "solarized" if you are familiar with those terms from the
photographic world.
