It looks interesting, but at $1500 to start is it a cost effective alternative to TVone?

You still need an blending and warping application, like the one presented by Scalable Display Technology in the powerpoint, nVidia only provides an API. There's a reference to a new R285 driver, I presume there are consumer grade cards based on the R285 architecture?
Overhere the Quadro 5000 starts at €1850,- and runs till €4K. So, Two single channel processors from TVOne should be in the same price range, and is probably cheaper if one needs a seperate license from SDT.
Any news on driver support on the AMD (FirePro) cards? Some-one at ISE told me there was blending support, but it was one of the things I didn't get round to check at IBC.

Thanks for all the clarification ...and I also guess that stand alone solutions are easier to setup, and offer more sources.
Hopefully AMD with their Eyefinity, has or will expand it to edge blending.....

The only bad thing right now with Stand alone soulutions like the DeVentix and the Tv-One units is no CMS, if TV-One ever adds this as they promissed they would some day(256 points) it be the ultimate Blend VP.
But till them you have to add dual CMS VP's. the cheapest being the Duo's from Anchor Bay.
So PC solution might actually be the less expensive way. I wonder how Andre is doing with his program for blending ?

Been a while since I checked the price, but a pair of VideoEq's might be cheaper than the Duo's.
