i had a digital broadcaster32 non-linear edit card.
this monster cost £12,000 new, and i got it, an AD516, and an opal vision card for a tenth of that. and was capable of standard definition recording/playback, from component, s/vhs, and betacam S/P. both PAL and NTSC.
you needed a seperate sound card to use it tho, ok, so i had an AD516, and could use the SMPTE timecoding with movieshop, but i wanted a SoundStage, as the soundstage had DSP chips that could help accelerate the FX rendering/character generation, not to mention handle alot more than 8 channels of 20bit audio.
could also attach timebase correctors and comb filters needed for pre-digital video sources.
why did i sell it? why why why :headwall:
