Most high-end facilities that process single-frame 3d animations now use the
abekas for thier single frame chores.  It's alot better then tying up a 1" or
BetaCam machine to churn away for hours and hours.  That can be VERY abusive
to a good VTR.  Storing them in the Abekas created no wear and tear on the
equipment.  Ya just hafta find the big-bucks for an Abekas that's gonna store
enough time for you.

I don't use 'em personally because I don't have the money but I know several
people who swear by them and they are coming from SGI platforms and WaveFront
software.
