I had one in my A2000 12 years ago, I used it to create my first 3d Animation demo-reel which I sent out to about 40 studios. I rendered each frame in Lightwave 3D om my A1200/060(sold it) :cry: as each frame was rendered it was sent to the PAR card via Parnet cable and software. The PAR converted it on the fly to a PAR animation. I will upload the demo onto Youtube and post the link. :-)

I just remembered that I ended up keeping each frame as a sequence of files and copied them onto zip disks. I then took them over to a friend who had a Toaster/Flyer set up and did the final editing and sound effects before outputting to tape. It was exciting to be doing all of that back then. I felt like I was on the cutting edge. :-D

 Wow! thats a complex but neat set up! I had forgotten about Bars & Pipes. I couldn't afford a Video Toaster until recently so now I get to play with it. I would be interested in updates if and when you experiment with B&P and Scala/genlock combo. It would be fun to use Scala 400 and a genlock for real time ovelays. Would I have to remove the Toaster to use a genlock?
