I have just a standard, full-size VHS camcorder. Could I crack it open and patch into the zoom controls? Here's what I was thinking (I've already had it apart once just to look): splice into the circuits that affect the finger controls. Put a 3-pin XLR or equiv. connector on the outside of the case. Then, have a momentary switch on the tripod handle (two, actually) to control tele/wide. Is this the proper line of thought? Also, can I make it variable speed perchance? Finally, how difficult is it to make external controls for the focus? Thanks for any help!

What system are you running it on? Speed? PP> Processor? RAM? Dedicated hard drive size? Welp, We run it on a 486/33. We have dedicated a computer for the PAR. We have a 1.8 gig drive dedicated and use 8 megs of ram on this system. RUNS GREAT!!!

This week, I finally got the demo reel and promo -> tape from Digital and I am becoming increasingly interested in -> "picking one up." Any comments, suggestions, or advice? I just got one in about a couple of weeks ago. I only have one thing to say about the PAR, how did I live without it?? For playing 24bit , 30fps animations it is great. The output is very good. With the optional TBC4 from DPS you can also capture a video source right to the harddrive in real time. My only suggestion would be, to buy the fastest drive DPS recomends. I bougth a Conner drive, which does a pretty good job but the larger drives do a better job. If you need more info let me know.... --- FidoPCB v1.5 beta-'j' * Origin: Lightwaved 3D BBS! 510.228.0886 (1:125/525) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 201 PRO VIDEO Ref: BEX00000 Date: 10/26/94 From: MIKE ACHENBACH Time: 01:34am \/To: DAVID BROOK (Read 12 times) Subj: pro video David: How about these for prices.
