If you're running an Amiga 4000 then you really should keep the cover on...this computer will almost certainly overheat/burn up if you run it without the cover on. If your hard-drive problem is heat related, then you may want to pick up a small fan from Radio Shack and put it inside the computer...if you don't have room inside, then take one of the slot back-plates off and put the fan near the opening so that it sucks air OUT of the computer. You should try to put the fan as close to the over-heating hard drive as possible, but this is not mandatory. I recently had problems with a new hard drive getting very hot inside of my A2000 and I had no way of installing a fan inside, so I went to Radio Shark =) and picked up a small AC powered fan...I removed a back-plate from one of my few empty slots and placed the fan as close to this opening as possible....it sucked enough air out of the computer to keep the hard drive nice and cool. Tape backup options for the Amiga are rather limited, but I would definitely recommend getting on...I have a Caliper Touchdown 100 which backs up 250 megs worth of data on a DC-6250 type data cartridge...it does a good job but it seems as slow as a ONE-legged dog when I'm backing up the 5 gigabytes worth of storage I have between my 3 Amigas. It's a standard SCSI device which will work with any SCSI controller...I paid about $800 for this unit back in 1992 or 1993. -David Warner Event Horizon Graphics -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

This makes it look alot closer to the AGA version. Also the Music and sound effects can be played directly from an audio CD player for people without sound cards or a flyer. Most of the scene files and some RGB sequences from the Moving Backgrounds and ANimations are included. Since the scene files are mostly under 120 frames. it would not take long to render to anim format of choice. Also issue 2 will contain 50 backgrounds from the Backdrop Construction Kit.

I recently found the little appendix on page 49 of the 2.0 manual that explains, sort of, the ability to import some 3d formats as well as PICT bitmap files. This latter capability would be most helpful to me if I knew how to use it. Unfortunately, the manual sends me on a "refer to this..." rat race that ends up back where I started, w/o explaining the process. Can anyone help me to load PICT files into the Toaster (remember, I have System 2.0 on a 2000) using the TIO which the manual is touting? I realize I could find a file converter and load the images as RGB or FS, but I would rather avoid the extra steps and/or expense, especially since I know that the upgrade, which I will be buying, is supposed to take care of this in a grand and comprehensive (well, more or less) way.

I guess after reading my own question I wasn't very clear. What I'm talking about is doing the above "super" in the FLYER. If I were doing "traditional" editing, I wouldn't be having a problem.

In VTU, under Mike Danger's The Way I See It column, he mentions that Area 52 (1-800-730-0085) claims they have obsene amounts of A4000s. Their ad says they have A400s in stock, too. Just checked they're ad -- top of the page says "FREE TOASTER with the purchase of Flyer". They mean bread & butter, right? Anyway, they're a mail order house, but I have no idea where they're located (Nevada? :) ) Hope this helps... -- Joe -- Joe Angell posted this message.

This is from a manual for a Micropolis 4110 drive, but it should apply for most (if not all) models...looking at the front of the drive, with the led on the far left, the first jumper is for a remote LED light, and the next three jumpers are for configuring the SCSI ID...here's a (sort of) diagram: +-------------------------------------------+ !

Oddly enough, the default jumper configuration (SCSI ID #7) happens to be the one SCSI ID that is the least compatible with most SCSI controller cards, because SCSI ID #7 is usually reserved for the controller card itself. So, remove one of the SCSI ID jumpers and you should be all set...if you have other drives in the SCSI chain, then you'll have to pick an ID that is different from all the other devices. I've had this problem before, with the drive showing up on all addresses, and it left me scratching my head for a few minutes until I consulted the manual ("When all else fails...") and saw that the default SCSI ID is #7. This should solve your problem.... -David Warner Event Horizon Graphics -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

Once you have recorded your animation on the PAR and have finished your soundtrack, put the time that the soundtrack starts into the SMPTE register on the PAR. Make sure that the AD516 has the SMPTE generator on (or in the case that you are recording to tape, use the SMPTE monitor, making sure you have created a correct time code path), put the animation in play/pause and start the sountrack (either through the time code out from your record deck or by pressing play on the AD516). This should do it. If you have any more questions, contact me directly.

If it doesn't, try putting it in sequence, going into control, fine tune, and then cutting room.

I just picked up the 4.04 and 4.04b upgrades and installed them for him, but we're still having one major problem that's been plaguing the system since we upgraded to version 4.0.... When an audio clip is moved into a program timeline for playback we keep getting a "Audio drive not available" message or something like that....if we double click on the audio clip icon, it plays fine. Now, the WEIRD thing is that if we reformat the audio drive and then redigitize or move the audio clip back onto the audio drive, it will work fine for the rest of the time that the computer is on. As soon as we turn the machine off and on again the problem with playing audio clips in a program comes back and persists until we reformat the drive again! So, we have a workaround for the problem, but it's a pain in the ass! I had hoped that the audio problems would be corrected with the 4.04 upgrade, but aside from the backup software improvements, there is not much else that was fixed on this new version.

If you can rent or borrow an NTSC transcoder and grab the footage into the Flyer directly, otherwise you will need to send the tapes out and have them converted resulting in an extra generation.

This is all that the advertised "Flyer chassis" cases are, such as the "Drive In", etc. Nothing more than a PC mini-tower case with some external SCSI connectors added. Some do not even have actual slots for powering devices like your TBC's.

Somehow, I smell a serious back-pedal here... I hope so! I'd much rather see Escom do a back-pedal and announce a realistic price for this machine. The more I think about that $3,500 price tag, the more I shake my head....either they're wildly optimistic about the demand for Amiga hardware by video professionals, or they've been taking advice from Mehdi Ali. It's still way to early to pass judgement on Escom's efforts though...I just hope they're paying attention to the reactions most people had when they heard about the wickedly expensive A4000Tower. -David Warner Event Horizon Graphics -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

This is one of a few Flyer Systems for sale I've seen to date, but exepect more to come. I have a Flyer System, and am almost ready to give up. I've read countless messages regarding Flyer's not performing, stuttering video, backups not responding, etc. and have experienced many of these myself. Last I talked to Newtek Tech Support, there is only ONE drive that currently does not stutter (at least occasionally) - the Quantum 2 GIG - which based on the Flyers need for 6 megs per minute is practically useless. They say that the Seagates which I bought (AND HAVE THE DAMN NEWTEK APPROVED STICKERS ON) have a thermal recalibration problem. And that they are 'negotiating' to instate a no cost firmware upgrade policy. They also told me that Segate didn't believe them, saying that there was no thermal recal problem. What this hints to me is that Newtek has found a major requirement of thier VTASC coding (burst data speed) and that when data drops to an acceptable level, the HD's recalibrate only to be caught with it's drawers down cause the Flyer says I need 6 megs per minute ( a nanosecond ago!) Meanwhile, I paid $2800 for drives that are now $1400!!! AND they don't work - not now not then!!! I lost $2800 for their special pre-order $500 discount. Add to that revenue lost from the past six months. (I'm only counting from the day I got it, not the 13 months since I ordered it.) Bottom line is this... Newtek should change codecs and go with JPeg or some other compression scheme until harddrive technology reaches an acceptable level for VTASC. We've all been put on hold while they "hoped" the drives would be there when they shipped the Flyer. They are not. I'm not talking about buggy software... I'm talking about incompatible hardware, and technology that isn't available. That's why Seagate is having their doubts... (Look our drives work great with Perception boards, AVID systems and various other high resolution digitizing systems... and you want us to specially develope a product for YOUR board AND give it away free to existing customers?) I'm really hot right now If you can tell! It comes after calling Newtek Tech Support asking why my Python 4 gig umcompressed drive is seen by the card, but just keeps telling me to put in a new tape. "Gee, I dunno, I suppose your drive isn't compatible with the Flyer" Then when asked about audio drive being accessed when no audio is being played resulting in a stutter. "Gee, maybe you need a bigger audio drive or maybe it's not compatible with the Flyer (after being told that any SCSI or SCSI2 drive would be fine and that a half-gig would be more than sufficient.) I'm gonna hang on a little longer in hopes they can pull it off soon. But I'll tell you, a good corporate lawyer would have no trouble in a group consumer lawsuit against Newtek. I've seen plenty of people here and on the Newtek board as well as other I personally know with the Flyer that would be interested in joining such a suit. I don't want to see Newtek sued or go under at all, on the contrary I believe that the Flyer's INTENDED operation is revolutionary and someday will be a sight indeed. And sore eyes will surely be watching But Newtek has $3500 of my money. And has caused me to pay out at least another $5,800 in harddrives that don't work. And most importantly has put my business on hold. Before anyone flames me, let me point out that some people have linear based systems that they can fall back on till technology allows the Flyer to "get off the ground". I do not have this luxury. 13 noths ago I read an advertisement that said - "Introducing D2-quality, Non-linear editing for under $4,000. What will we think of next?" Other excerpts: "Now the world's first all-in-one, broadcast quality, desktop-video production studio can be turned into a sophisticated editing suite. Fact is, Video Toaster 4000 combined with Video Toaster Flyer delivers the same high-end editing capability you'd expect from a $50,000 digital deck." Upon reading this I opted to buy the Flyer instead of an S-VHS or Hi-8 A/B roll editing system. I wish now I had bought the linear system, I could have made enough money to pay for the linear decks AND buy a Flyer system next year when it works. Oh, I just saw Newtek's buffer: "Features, specifications, and prices subject to change without notice." Yeah, like it won't work at all, compatible drives do not exist, and delivery dates may need a year or two added to them. Like I said, I'm waiting a while, but I just sent for a free demo tape of the Perception's video editing capabilities with Razor or Adobe Premier. I will not be caught without an option... J.

And now I can't back it up on my SCSI2 compliant 4 gig backup I paid $800 for cause they said any SCSI2 compliant tape backup should work.

Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-toaster@webcom.com Precedence: bulk Well, to break up the Flyer complaints a bit (GLAD I DIDN'T BUY ONE!!) I was hoping I could find an answer to a weird problem I've run into just recently. I've owned T-Rexx for a lonnnng time, since it was made by KludgeCode software in fact, and it's always worked like a charm...I now have the Professional version 1.1.1 by ASDG and that to has worked beautifully until just this last week when I needed to call upon it's abilities for one of my LightSpeed tutorials. It's been quite a while since I've used T-Rexx, so it's possible that these bugs have been there for quite a while, but there seems to be a serious compatibility problem with Toaster System 3.1 (with LW 3.5 upgrade) in that all of my Toaster Croutons look like they've been soaking in salad dressing all day...in other words, they're a soggy mess and a LOT of them just can't even be loaded by T-Rexx. If I try to use the ProjectEditor, I get the same thing...messed up croutons and if I try loading enough of them, the whole system just crashes. No, I thought maybe some of my Toaster data had gone corrupt, so I re-installed everything from Toaster System 3.0 on up, and now ALL of my Toaster croutons are messed up! I also tried re-installing T-Rexx, but that didn't solve the problem. So, is there an update to T-Rexx Pro that I never heard about for compatibility with Toaster 3.1 or has something SERIOUSLY wrong happened to my system?? =( I wonder if ASDG (Elastic Reality) is even speaking to us lowly Amiga users these days....it's been quite a while since I've called them. -David Warner Event Horizon Graphics -- davewarner@globalone.net posted this message.

However when we got 4.04B upgrade, we had trouble. every operation got slow. very slow. finally I noticed that every time I hit a button the CD-rom would run for a while before it would do any operation. I was unable to correct the problem until I disconnected the scsi connector to the cdrom. I t works fine now but I have no cd rom. I tried to reinstall 4.03. that would not work, I presume because 4.04B wiped out some file. Any way we have a working system sans cdrom. we are using five 9 gig micropolis drives for video and one 4 gig seagate for audio. occasionally we get stutter just before a digital transition. We then move the next clip to another bus. This always seems to do the trick. I agree with most that this is a terribly buggy system that needs a major overhaul in its operating system. I suspect from my experience that if you do enough clip deletions on a drive, eventually it will cause a serious problem with the drive. We avoid clip deletions like the plague. We do a project. back it up on our exabytel, and then format all drives that we have used. BTW we have been wanting to do multiple graphics layering, and had to use another toaster as an input to do it. But we tried 4.04b and found that now we can digitize a clip with any graphic used as a linear key. This then allows infinite layering and allows us to keep the same key over multiple clip dissolves. -- Ed Weigel posted this message.

There is also some monitor drivers and the last official village software there. I'm using a 1950 monitor so I don't have an answer. If I can find the time I'll try to configure for the 1080. There is also software written by some third party software called Cybergraphics that is newer and in most cases improved over the origional software. There is a demo version on aminet, it's shareware and worth the price, which is $40 I think. the FTP site is terrapin-station.umd.edu Steve Nevins > -- > Joe Angell sent this message. > To Post a Message : lightwave@webcom.com > Un/Subscription Requests To : lightwave-request@webcom.com > (DIGEST) or : lightwave-digest-request@webcom.com > Administrative Items To : owner-lightwave@webcom.com > -- Stephen Nevins posted this message.

All drives (at present technology) need to occasionally recalibrate due to fluctuating data transmission. The variance of data flow causes a variance of heat generated this must be accounted for or the drive will soon not be able to send data reliably. The A/V drives have been optimized to 1. take a punishment and 2. react "smart" by sensing when the thruput is below a certain level. A level where data can be sent AND recal take place. Your audio drives are capable of recal and data transmission because of the lower data transmission requirement of audio. (Altho I suppose a slower drive might give you problems if you were running several tracks AND the drive tried to recal. The Pproblem with the stuttering is due to the drives sensing a data flow dropping below the acceptable level, trying to recal and the Flyer coming back a nanosecond later and saying 6 megs per sec please!!! (This happen just as the drives gets the pants to it's ankles and reaches for a magazine to read.) RESULT: Stutt..tttue...Stutter...ttt.Stutter The real problem is in VTASC compression. That is why even at the lower quality mode, (Extended) you need the fastest drives available. Yes, even lower quality modes needs the occasional 5 to 6 megs per second transfer rate. So Newtek goes to Seagate and says, "Gee, your drives have a recal fault." Seagate says, "Hmmm, you're right, our drives do recal... In fact, we intended them to do so, you know data integrity & such..." "Well, gee Seagate", Newtek proceeds, "can you make 'em special for the Flyer, (and offer FREE upgrades to our existing customers?)" Well, I'm just enough technical to make me dangerous, but RAID does seem like a way to go, or else have the Flyer copy the entire clip from A/B (as many of us manually do - can you say LINEAR) and then have the drive wait for a SCSI2 acknowledgement before recal. The Flyer could then send a "Your done for the next 2.5 seconds, recal if you can... MESSAGE) Another concern for all you other manufacturer drives out there... A Newtek tech support person told me that the only known drive not to stutter is the 2 gig Quantum Atlas. I haven't heard of dealings going on with Micropolis, Quantum, Fujitsu, IBM, etc. about THEM fixing a recal problem. You don't suppose Newtek will say to Seagate - "If you will make this revision for us, we;ll announce you as the ONLY Newtek supported drive!" Ah, but I digress... But you do make a good point... After A toaster, toaster oven, kitchen sync etc., certainly I can foresee a Toaster Refrigerator! ;) J. David - Video GT -- "J. David Johnson" posted this message.

Unfotunately the grain you are getting is from VTASC compression. Try recording the clips in Hi-Quality 5 Mode, it uses much less compression. (Altho not all drives are capable of Hi-5 quality.) J.

Read the same thing, and given the problem with the Flyer accessing the higher recording modes (HQ-5 etc..), I am suprised we have not heard more about these other option. Applied Magic was one company mentioned. Their device is reported (by a Beta tester) to work with the Flyer, and that it eliminates stuttering and other problems with drives that are used in pairs. It spreads the data-stream between two drives. They don't expect to have `product' until October. Ian -- Ian Lancaster posted this message.

I have a animation I need to I bought a Sony SDT-5000 a 4gig uncompressed drive that works well for backing up Flyer clips... got it for $825 plus shipping. Tapes are $22-$25 each and hold, yep, 4 gigs uncompressed (120m tapes). Be aware tho that Newtek's code is still a little flaky and real slow... 2.7 gig took almost 4 hours to backup. (And the drive is normally capable of 1.2 gig per hour (21 megs to 23 megs per minute which is one of the fastest data transfer rates around) A quick fix is to one by one copy files from one drive to another. Starting with the longer clips (if they'll fit) for instance if you have some five minute clips and the other drive show more than that available (BEFORE reorganizing) then copy the clip to the other drive and delete it off the first doing this till you can't anymore should allow you to reorganize the first drive, then reverse the flow of copied clips till you can reorganize the second one. The important thing to remember is to copy the biggest files you can over, cause the reoganize uses only contiguous space. (It won't split a 6 minute clip and place into 4 minute and 2 minute available slots. Hope this helps J. David - Video GT -- "J. David Johnson" posted this message.

The article in VTU did mention RAID, and also a cheaper alternative called Quik-Array from Applied Magic. The device was out for Beta testing (on Macs I believe) and was tried on a Flyer - and worked! The device ties two drives together on the same SCSI bus. They are then viewed as one storage device. It has been reported that stuttering in the HQ mode was eliminated. Applied Magic (619-599-2626) do not expect to have product for shipping until October. Ian -- Ian Lancaster posted this message.

Dont' know if this helps.... I picked up a S-VGA monitor yesterday and it works quite nicely. > Lastly, if I may ask, what does your system consist of? (especially, the > video output end). Whew, you're opening a large can of worms with that question...I have a Video Toaster 4000 inside of an 040 equipped Amiga 2000 with Kitchen Sync TBC...also have a PAR in that machine with a 1.2gig drive for recording. I have another 030 equipped A2000 with a DCTV/SuperGen setup that also contains a V-LAB Y/C for digitizing video and a TBC+ for converting the Toaster and SuperGen output to S-VHS. I have an 040 equipped A3000 that is essentially just for rendering LightWave animations. Between these three machines I have more than 4 gigs of storage and the usual miscellaneous other pieces of hardware. (ethernet, Cd-Rom, Syquest, tape backup, PhonePak) For video, I'm using a Panasonic PVS-4990 consumer S-VHS deck as a source, a Panasonic AG-1960 to record, and a cheap VHS camera with it's output transcoded to S-VHS for decent live video source. (I will be picking up a Hi-8 camera soon to replace this.) > Basically, I'm trying to figure out the best possible > equipment configuration regarding a high-quality animation studio with a > $15k-$20k budget. So, for inputting video, is S-VHS (ie, AG-455) adequate > into my current VLAB (or would PAR be better)? I almost bought a Vlab Motion system, but after speaking to MacroSystems tech for quite a while, I came to the conclusion that this system could only deliver VHS quality output...nowhere near adequate for a "high-quality animation studio". The PAR is very good, but it uses JPEG compression which can leave noticeable artifacts when an animation is paused, but it is definitely adequate for professional output...not broadcast quality but very good and VERY affordable right now. I purchased a used PAR 2 months ago for $800 and picked up a 1.2gig Conner drive to use with it for only $350. Beats the pants off of my previous DCTV animation playback system! I recommend using S-VHS in your studio...it does a good job if you keep your recording generations low (2 or 3 max) and it is very affordable. > For output, does one go > with the Flyer (already have A2000/Toaster), BetaSP deck, or Exabyte deck > to export to service bureau? Don't waste your money on the Flyer...it can output some good quality video if everything is working correctly but very rarely does everything work correctly. I work with a client who has one and "frustrating" is the best way I would describe the Flyer. Very sad. Higher end formats (M-II & BetaSP) can be expensive but the quality is worth it...you'll need a bigger budget to work with these formats... expect to pay at least $10,000 per deck. I'm not familiar with Exabyte drives, but I know that they can be a good solution...make sure you have a service bureau nearby to take the tapes to for actual output. Sending them through the mail to a service bureau is risky and many questions like "who's getting their hands on my client's project?" become a possible issue. I would recommend getting a used PAR for the Amiga, a good sized drive to go with it and use this for your animation output. If you need to do non-linear editing, then you may be able to get away with the V-Lab Motion, but don't expect very good output. A better non-linear editing solution is to get a Pentium equipped with a DPS Perception card (the new PAR) a good-sized SCSI-II hard drive (9gigs), the video capture daughter card and an audio card and you'll have a very high-quality non-linear editor as well as a LightWave render engine that is many times faster than your Amiga, all for less than $10,000. Throw in a GOOD S-VHS 3-chip camera and a couple of S-VHS decks (source and record) and you should still be under your $20,000 budget. > Sorry for the lengthy question and thanks....

I'm not sure how much RAM: PAR needs to operate but it is not much. You need a way to get the frames over to the 2000. I have never gotten PARNET to let the PAR in one machine to import frames from the toaster machine from LW or from a hd in the other machine. I bet it could be done by setting up PARNET properly. I used to sneakernet a hd from the toaster machine to thePAR machine. Once you have the animation on th4e par, connect the PAR output to the toaster input one and use it like any other video source and toasterize the anims any way you want. Having the PAR iand toaster in the same machine worked but not that well. having seperate machines made fade ups and transistions using the anims and other graphics a snap. I have a flyer now and have sold my PAR to help pay for it. It is very flackey now but when the software is finally done it will be awesome but for now I wish I had a PAR in my second 2000s and probably will get one before it is all over.

In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-toaster@webcom.webcom.com Precedence: bulk I'm one of those frustrated Flyer owners. I haven't even delved into the bug ridden world of audio non-linear editing yet but getting my animations to clip has been a challenge. I had to sell my PAR to get all I needed to use the flyer and still don't have a dedicated scsi-2 for the audio but I am primarily and animator. I have to bid a rather simple 30 sec spot next seek and have to decide if I can get the hd and do it. The job will pay for the drive and some but I still have big problems with the video. I only got the quantum 2 gigers because I am doing mostly these ten second logos but the drives weren't supported by the flyer even though they were approved but had to go back for 6 weeks while NT and Quantum worked out a revision. I finally got some anims going to clip through flyer (which takes like 40 secs on my system where I used to save framestore and compile them with the PAR in about 5 secs each). I dare not render directly to clip because it doesn't seme to append. If there is crash (I got rid of most crashes by not running any commodities including my beloved Q-Mouse) I have to start rendering all over and it is hard to tell from the flyer editor what the last frame rendered was. Anyway I find that the quality of the video clips were poor. Finally there is this High Q5 mode that I finnally find out how to get to on capture but now I am finding out that you can't get it from LW or arexx IFF2clip. All they would have to do is write another arexx command for appending the next field to clip that uses the HighQ5 compression instead of the standard play which my drives don't seem to get good playaback from. I can't seem to communicate all this that well with tech support. I understand that the flyer is primarily for nop-linear video editoring. They certainly have a long way to go till that part of the software up to snuff. I bought the Flyer primarily so I could get clean animations without the motion JPEG artifacts that show up more on logo anims that have simple lines. More complex imagery requires more compression on the PAR but the artifacts are less noticible. I also wanted to have a more digital video environment for my work and be able to do non-linear editing easily. Animators with Quantum 2 gigers are way down on their list of bug swatting and software design! I have 8k tied up in this upgrade but still have to usually rent back my PAR to do a job which is a grand pain in the butt. Occasionaly an anim seems to behave well with my setup and I can use what it does now. But most of the time my clips are a color flickering mess. One tech told me that LW4.0, when it finally arives, it won't have my problem fixed! If they just fix the arexx command I would be happy. I find the video playback very unpredictable. I have to recalibrate often. The system is not rock solid. I captured a clip from a client yesterday for a project. I used HQ5 and it looked good. Latter in the day I got to working with it and the playback was unusable. Stuttering and breakups. Now I have to tell the client to bring the original back for recapture. Don't even get me started on tpaint for the A2000. NT says that my combination of mega chip and the G-Force 040 is the source of a lot of my problems!!! Duhhhh? This was the setup of choice fo animators on a budget. Faster than the 4000 and cheaper than a P&P or a 4000 with a warp, I chose the GVP. Even Lee Stratahan had a column in VTU about how it was the best setup for LW. Last fall I was at toaster U and Lee was telling us all to sell our PARs as the they would be a dime a dozen as the flyer was going to be the animation machine of chioce. I had a buyer lined up for it at top dollar for 4 months but wouldn't sell it till I took delivery finally on the flyer. Selling it was a big mistake as the price for used pars and the 1.7 drive have not dropped that much and I could really still be using it almost every day. the Flyer is still in beta as far as I'm concerned. This whole situation is getting a little old and holding up my business. Everyday I have thoughts of just selling the flyer and getting a PC and a Perception but I am reading that people are having trouble with that also. the only saveing grace to that route would be that I could use one of the scsi-2's that I paid way to much for for the Perception and theother one would make a great drive for my system.

In that time I have gathered a lot of useful information that has been beneficial. I have responded in kind to those who I could help. During this time there has been much more negative press regarding the Flyer than positive. I realize that the folks using this service are looking for answers to problems they've encountered but at the same time I wonder how may Flyer systems there are out there that are working to some degree of efficiency. My objective in this post is to offer some positive posturing for the Flyer system. Let me furnish some background for reference and qualification purposes. Early on, in December of '93 I purchased a complete 4000 system, complete with the Broadcaster, (then manufactured by the now defunct DMI,) along with a Fastlane and two 2Gig Barracuda drives. This was the leading edge of the technology at the time as far as Amiga digital was concerned. The purchase of this equipment was a nightmare from day one. The company I purchased it from, Anti gravity, shipped the computer with screws missing, floating around in the housing, hard drives not formatted properly and the list goes on. This was purchased as a plug and play, ready to go system, as per advertisement I might note that they were never of any assistance through out the following ordeal. DMI, the manufacturer, was as helpful as they could be and I can honestly say that they did try. The Barracuda drives however, had the quote, "wrong firmware" and the only solution would be to have Seagate change this. Ha - ha! To make a long story short, the Fastlane SCSI board had to be returned to the US distributor for service before the hard drives could be formatted with any lasting degree of success. A process which took several weeks. Once Fastlane was up and running the formatting finally worked but the drives would not sustain the necessary transfer rate. As helpful as DMI was with their technical support, the system was still a long way from being useful. Finally the Fastlane's home office in Germany came up with a software program, (which I have a copy of,) to reset the firm ware. This worked but the board itself was an ongoing problem. DMI had a "fix" in the form of an upgrade in the works and the boards were to be returned to them on a take a number and wait basis. I sent mine in and waited. DMI went bankrupt and the present manufacturer of the Broadcaster Elite system under took meeting the obligations promised the original purchasers of the system. They returned, to their credit, the upgrade of the board that I had sent back to DMI when they went out of business. It worked and still does. Their software upgrades have all been excellent, each offering advancements in the operation of the original product. To my dismay how ever, I have pre-paid for the promised Elite replacement system which at this time is over six months overdue. I'm still waiting on this system to be completed and delivered as promised. But that's the price of living on the edge of technology. I have used the upgraded Broadcaster system in repeated productions encompassing everything from corporate training videos to television commercials. In short, this system, given all of it's headaches, has made me a lot of money. It is even better for animation than the PAR system because of it's flexibility and will continue to be serviceable for a long time to come. The first toaster system I purchased was still in the BETA stages. I still have the beta documentation. I grew with that system and the bugs that came and went before it finally became a stable and totally useful product. NewTek was always there, sometimes not as timely as I would have liked but in the end they furnished the solution. This was defiantly leading edged technology. The toaster system and Lightwave, through it's stages and upgrades have been instrumental in the production of several hundred successful productions and two ongoing television shows since I originally purchased the system. The Present. I pre-purchased the Flyer system and after a long wait, as for every one, it arrived. Having been through the "Hard-Drive Wars" and being no stranger to the inherent problems that could arise through the purchase of inadequate drives, I contacted New Tek and got their recommendations. Quantum ATLAS SX34300s 4Gig drives with a firmware designation of f76D of 576D. After finally getting the budget together I purchased two of these drives and one 1.3 Gig Western digital for audio. The original system arrived with the 4.0 software. Upon receipt of the drives and the necessary cabling I set up the system as per instructions, in a 4000 system. Prior to installation, I downloaded consecutively 4.04a and 4.04B. I installed the original and the upgrades in order. After two days of experimentation, (having had plenty of time to study the manuals before hand,) I set out to implement some updates and changes to a series of training videos that I had completed or were in progress. This was accomplished without a hitch. Everything worked beautifully. I next completed four commercials. One was and old customer on his third commercial with me. Three were new one of which was a national company. All were more than pleased. I have began implementing the Flyer into the production of two ongoing weekly regional television series which I produce. One is a real estate show and the other is a collectable car and rod show. I have found several ways to make my life easier with the Flyer in these ongoing productions. I know it will be some time before I completely understand the capabilities of the system and a lot of the usable ARREXX programs, etc. What there is I like. The CG is definitely an improvement as is the Toaster paint program. Each has a ton of accessible ARREXX features in addition to the normal and improved upgrade functions. I look forward of course, and check in two or three times a week to see if there are changes to the system. The only thing I can see that would really make things less stressful would be for New Tek to post progress reports of some kind on their system. Something simple such as a text file that be a sort of newsletter. Just a couple of paragraphs on a regular basis would be nice. The FAQ's are there but they're written in stone as of... In any event, I have faith that there is a bright side to the Flyer system and the plus's sure out weigh the minus's.

If so, from what I was told, the PC's would have to render colour (animated) transitions, while the Amiga would do them in realtime. Other than that, I don't know what else is different on it. Someone with one will surely fill you in shortly. > > My last question is this: I have never actually seen a flyer in > operation. What is the video quality and how well does the system > work?

The (Toaster)Flyer uses a special file format for the frames, and is claimed to have D2 quality capability. I think the quality is great, but the Flyer software is still buggy (like many of the PC and Mac equivalents). Hopefully the bugs will be gone shortly. Are you in the US, UK, Canada? It's hard quoting prices when we need to know where people hail from. *8^) Suffice to say, there is a compatibility list of drives for the Flyer to try and keep an efficient rate of thruput going. As before, others shall elaborate on what you would be looking at. > > Excuse me if some of these question are old... it took me a while to find > someone who knew the correct address to this list! > > Blackout of Blackout Productions > Good luck with the rest of the info you require. ******************************************* * Vance Schowalter >>Image Master<< * * * * Internet: viking@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca * * * * "Affable little snow creature." * ******************************************* -- Vance Schowalter posted this message.
