Proc amps? at DVinfo.net

Can anyone recommend a good midrange proc amp?

And for those of you using proc amps...

Are you running footage through the amp when digitizing or only when you output to tape?

Thanks!

Many of the NLE's today include a Proc Amp and I would guess that's what the majority of DV editors are using. The software Proc Amps have more features than a stand alone Proc Amp. Programs like After Effects also include a Proc Amp. Do you need one for analog footage? If so, Proc Amps are included in many transcoders. You might look at Laird http://www.lairdtelemedia.com/ and DPS http://www.dps.com/ for units that might meet your needs. I use the Proc Amp built in to Final Cut Pro for simple needs and for complex corrections I use Color Finesse, a plug in to After Effects.

Yeah, I use my scopes quite a bit.

I was wondering what peoples experiences were with hardware proc amps like the Studio 1.

I am also wondering about distribution amps....

Thanks!
