I am looking for a single-frame editing S-VHS recorder with TBC and 2 channel audio. I don't want a controller, though. Anyone have any leads? This would be so I can animate sequences spit out by my amiga. Any comments are welcome. I would be looking for new/used machines with prices under 4000. thanks.

Thats a very low target price for what you are asking but a couple possible solutions come to mind. The Panasonic AG7750 is an S-VHS editting recorder with TBC and 2 channel audio + HiFi. It retails for $6500 but I believe some mail order houses sell it for under $5K. There is also a new unit from JVC that doesn't have a TBC but has builtin support for computer driven animation/single framing. It is the BRS605U and lists for about $2200. With the money left over, you could buy a DPS personal TBC for $850 that will plug into the Amiga or get a standalone unit like those frome Showline for around $2K. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' 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 % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
