The RT-2000 Professional ? Pah! Have a play with the Matrox
Digisuite family then you'll be impressed! ;-)
Mind you for home users the RT-2000 can't be beat, you get a video
board with firewire in/out, analog video in/out, digital audio in/out
and analog audio in/out that can handle two streams of video and one
graphics layer plus it can use the G400/450 to handle 3D effects on
one stream of video in real time ... let's see Nvidia compete with
that for 650 pounds (which includes Adobe Premier, DVDit and bunch
of other stuff in conjunction to the RT-2000 and G400/450 in the box)
BTW, if you want to see what the Matrox Digisuite video quality is
like have a look at "The Box", "Kiss", "Q" and "Kerrang" on SkyTV the
video has been butchered down to a measly 3.5Mbit (from 8Mbit) by Sky
but it still looks good! (just try not to look to hard at the ...
erm ... glitches that might happen :-) .. shame it is running on
Windoze NT :-(
