ASDG now supports the Polaroid CI-3000 DIGITAL film recorder as a saver
module under Art Department Professional.

The CI-3000 is brand new. It lists for $4000 and offers visual quality, in
our opinion, as good or better than older film recorders costing up to $12000.
In part this is because the CI-3000 uses 33 bits per pixel internally to 
provide a guarunteed accuracy of 24 bits where other film recorders are
accurate to only 18 bit-planes. 

The CI-3000 can use 35 mm backs, as well as a pack film back, an autofilm
back and a 4by5 back. Pin registered Cine backs are available from third
parties. 

The CI-3000 driver is available for $200 list from ASDG. The Art Department
Professional is required and itself lists for $200. The results of the duo
are incredible especially when you take advantage of ADPro's image      
composition features (let's you edit 24 bit-plane images without having to
own a 24 bit display card). 

The CI-3000 interfaces via the parallel port and gives surprisingly fast
rendering times. A 2K by 1.5K pixel image can be imaged in under 5 minutes 
including data transfer and film imaging time.

Since the CI-3000 is supported by ADPro and ADPro fully supports ARexx,
the CI-3000 is directly ARexx controllable.

Also, we have just completed Dupon 4Cast support as well. Call us if you
want to know more.
