I am interested to hear more about Sony video disc systems (LVS/LVR-5000, LVR6000 and other models if there are any). I would like to see some technical specifications (possible input and output types, controlling etc.). And I would also like to know how much they approximately cost. -- Jari Toivanen (toivanen@jyu.fi) Memories are lost in time University of Jyvaskyla, Finland like tears in rain.

Can someone post a summary of the discussion on these machines. -- Brian Corrie (bcorrie@csr.uvic.ca) Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity and other variables, the organism will do as it damn well pleases. Sounds like some of the code I have written...... 8-)

I have used both the Sony and the Teac unit hooked directly to an Amiga with a Video Toaster for single frame recording of 3D animation. Here is some info on the Sony.... Sony LVR-5000A / LVS-5000A system: It consists of two components, a video disk recorder/palyer and a signal processor. Each goes for about $10K and a single processor can be interfaced with up to 10 recorder/palyers. A single disk can record 24 minutes of contiuous video and audio or 43,500 NTSC frames per side. There is a PAL version which is the 6000 and an optional board for the 5000 which allows PAL record and playback. Here is a quick feature list: RS-232 port for computer control 0.5 second random access time Built in TBC PCM audio with 88dB dynamic range Noiseless playback at speeds from 1/255 to 3x normal in forward and reverse Composite, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y), and RGB inputs Composite, Y/C, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y), and RGB outputs 4.5MHz component color bandwith 6.7MHz bandwith in black and white mode 48 dB signal to noise Can genlock playback to VBS or SYNC input Uses 12" CAV mode laser disk Anyway, the output is VERY nice and vastly superior to the older video disk recorders like the 8" Panasonic. Believe it or not, none of the literature I have gives an address or phone number to contact and I don't have the card for my rep handy. If I had the capital available, this is the video disk recorder I would purchase. Hope this helps. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson CONCURRENT COMPUTER % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com Principal Graphics % % ' Image ` ...!uunet!masscomp!mark Hardware Architect % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 & General Nuisance % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
