I would like to see Sony offer a dedicated hardware card to give us Real Time rendering.
I know most editors would buy one as it would end all waiting for effects played out from the timeline and displayed in BEST quality on the preview window, like glows, crossfades, color correction, gausian blur, and more all at the same time. And also previewed on an external tv monitor.
When I do montages with pan and zooms I still need to pre-render at best quality to see what the exact smoothness and flow looks like. But with a RT card I could see it instantly.
Each little tweak here and there on the timeline needs a little time to render and after awhile this becomes tedius and time consuming.
The card could have a flash eprom for future firmware uodates from Sony.
