Hi

I want to get real-time graphics off my Sun or Dec workstation
screens recorded onto video. I've been recommened products from
a US company called Parallax for the Suns and they seem to be just
what I need but expensive.

Alternatively, I know that DEC produce something called a J300 Sound
and Motion board and software called Multimedia services. This is
cheaper, but I have no idea how reliable it is.

Has anyone bought this stuff? Does anyone have an opinion on it which
will help me avoid deciding only on the basis of expensive but proven
or cheap and unknown?

Mark
