I'm Still Confused

[VidSmith]

I'm trying to get a handle on the differences in how the virtual sets are going to work on an old VT[2] card vs. a VT Pro Card. I have both.

My understanding, someone (Paul) correct me if I'm wrong:

VT Pro card

FX Bus w/Scaling and Chroma Key

And I can still do a transition to/from any source on the Preview Bus

VT Classic Card

And I can do a transition to/from any non-live source on the Preview Bus

-OR-

On a related note - any projected ship date for the full Live Set Construction software? The whole Live Set thing is of dubious utility without it.

My understanding, someone (Paul) correct me if I'm wrong:


I'll get with testing to confirm the advantages of having a VT PRO card for not only virtual set operations, but also for live switching and capitalizing on the effects bus.

I'm trying to decide if I need to upgrade the older card or not.

Thanks

I would also like to know this. Can't wait to see what Paul has to say.

I'm in screen-capture madness, but have begun gathering some facts for a subsequent report to the community on the benefits of the VT PRO card when using LiveSet. Stay tuned. :D
