#Need to spend $$!!
5 messages in this thread
I have a client who needs to spend some $ on capital equipment in a
hurry. He wants to get a board that provides video in/out on a PC
with some sort of hardware compression. We work with 3DS and Ani Pro
on occassional projects, and he does corporate training videos with
titles etc. every few months or so. He wants the best, most
compatable (stable) card available in the $2-$3K range. The money
needs to be spent very soon for budgetary reasons, so any suggesstion
you might have will be greatly appreciated!

Chris,
Any new product is going to have a few problems here and there and the PAR
is no exception. Even recording frame by frame to tape has it's problems.
The people at DPS seem posed to address these problems and to further the
product along (as in the Razor Pro\PAR chip upgrade). I myself am happy
with the PAR and I know of a few also who use it day by day with no problems.
My 2 cents…
Ralph
Thanks, Ralph. It's valuable to know that. I think I may give DPS a call for a
demo tape.
