FS on ebay - DPS PAR!!!

[DerekG]

No TBC in my Toaster, But if I understand right...This card combined with a VLab motion would sub for a TBC and a Flyer...at least partially anyway?  I have tons of IDE drives laying around...SCSI is harder to get ahold of. This will work in a 2000 ok? And the Toaster?

Thanks.

I thought I read somewhere that the VLab will capture without a TBC being necessary, as well as doing Chromakey. DPS is no longer around and I haven't seen any TBC-IV advertised anywhere..not on E-bay anyway. So I was actually thinking the VLab was my best bet.

So to be clear, there is no way to input video into the PAR without the TBC? I am new to alot of this and trying to get a usuable system.  Bear with me. I can run video from the PAR into the Toaster without the TBC though?  SO that only leaves the question of what to do with Input 1 on the VT...I don't have any studio equipment to generate blackburst.

Thanks again.

Ok. If you are inputting analog via S-Video, does it still need to be Time Base corrected?  Which raises another question...My consumer DVD Burner (Sony RDR-GX255) if I input from that (I have been copying my analog tapes to DVD through the S-Video input on the DVD), will it need TBC? I know none of the Amiga hardware has a digital input, so how does that work? The DVD has RCA, S-Video, Component, and HDMI outputs.

Acts as an extra DDR? I am not familiar with that acronym other than referring to RAM.

Does the TBC eliminate the need for a blackburst generator on #1?

Last question for now...MiniDV doesn't need TBC, but how would you connect it to the Toaster to begin with, with no firewire or USB?

A Lot of stupid questions I know. But Getting my PC to a point of being able to edit as well as a Toaster/Flyer (if I ever get a Flyer) will be expensive. Faster, definitely. 30FPS with no skips not with what I got.

Does the Flyer have audio input? I can't remember.  At any rate, I have been wondering about using an External TBC? Won't help with the PAR I suppose, but I assume it would solve the general issue of needing TBC analog in to the Toaster/Flyer?

Sorry for all teh questionsm, as this is rather confusing at some points. When my Toaster (no Flyer) was hooked up at the TV station, they used the online Linear editor for blackburst and the decks had built in TBCs, if I remember right Unfortunately, using consumer equipment that is not exactly an option. I am just trying to find the least expensive way of getting the job done with some semblance of quality and ease of use.

That thing went quick! Didn't really have time to sleep on it (literally)..gone while I was sleeping.

Oh, well maybe next time.

It's not that I didn't want it, just too steep for my wallet right now, and I always start with a low offer when offering is an option  :-). Of course, I wasn't terribly thrilled with the prospect of mono audio either.  Guess I'm just spoiled with my Audigy 2 ZS platinum and Adobe Audition.
