#SANYO GVR-S950 VTR ????
5 messages in this thread
Has anyone successfully used the new SANYO GVR-S950 VTR for frame accurate
output?
I have 3DS Rel 2 and a cardinal snap plus video board and am having trouble. I
am using the VTRSAN.EXP driver which shipped with the deck.
Dave- I have been using the deck with r3 and have had no problems. If you can
describe the problem you're haveing maybe I can help.
Dave,
We use the GVR-S950 all day and all night it works great.! Having said that. To
your question.

You didn't mention where you purchased your Sanyo unit or why they weren't able
to help you…however here goes.
1. I know nothing of the cardinal snap plus video board so I am assuming that
it is a "Frame Buffer" card not some NTSC output board like the Magni VGA
Producer Pro. If this is not the case. Call Me!
2.Does the Cardinal board have an SVHS video out and are you plugging this in
to the Sanyo S-Video IN1 ?
3.How are you monitering the output of the Sanyo? Through the S-Video out or
the Composite "Video Out" ?
4. Do you have the "SET VTPADI=C:\3DS2\DRIVERS\VTRSAN.EXP" statement in your
Autoexec.bat file? And did you copy the VTRSAN.EXP file to the \3DS2\Drivers
directory. Also be aware of the Type error on page 57 refering to 3D Studio
there is a misspelling of the EXP driver…its VTRSAN.EXP not VCRSAN.EXP.
5. Have you changed the 3ds.set file so that the VTR-DEVICE= Diaquest now says
VTR-DEVICE= "VTPADI" ?
6. Assuming you've stripped and blacked an SVHS tape… have you set the
Control Switch to "Remote" ? See page ll of your GVR-S950 Instruction Manual
item # 11.
7. Have you tried to "manually" control the VTR using SANCOMM?
I hope this helps. If not you could call me at: (414)435-7345 or (414)
437-3898. And I'll see what we might be missing.

James,
The Snap is basically a VGA -> NTSC video card

Thank's Ang….I kind of suspected as much. Sort of a waste of a single frame
deck though.
Perhaps "someone" should talk to him about a "good Frame Buffer" <g>…One
that might allow him to MAXimize his Animation Production…you know..Save
time, save hassle, save wear-and-tear on your VCR and ultimately–SAVE MONEY!

Hint…Hint..nudge…nudge..know-what-I-mean! <g>
