#DPS PAR
5 messages in this thread
Howdy!
I was just reading a magazine that said you need the TBC to record to
a VCR. That doesn't make much sense to me, as the card should be
outputting composite video (sync included). I need a straight
answer. I know I need a TBC to digitize video, but is it necessary
to output animations from my computer to a VCR? (Or an NTSC
monitor…) Second, I heard that I could get the entire package of
Yost Group IPAS('s) for under $1000 — Any truth to that? Or is it
just with the purchase of the DPS PAR? I appreciate your help!

No way! The TBC is ONLY used for bring live animations in to the PAR from
video, it is not even used if you have at TBC going out! (There aren't many
time base errors (a tape artifact) from a digital medium! <g>)

Would you mind giving a brief review of the DPS/PAR's capabilities and
availability? Does it require an IDE drive or can you use SCSI? Is the
Targa/Vista or controller necessary?
Thanks,

>> Capabilities?
See your e-mail for a ZIP file on specs.
>> availability?
Hopefully this week!
>> IDE or SCSI?
IDE only, and only a few supported. It is recommended to get the PAR and drive
together to avoid problems.
>> Targa or Vista controller necessary?
Nope, no frame buffer required!

That's what I thought–perhaps a letter to the editor is in order…
whatever. Is the PAR shipping yet? How much is the entire package
of Yost Group IPAS ('s)?
