The TAW web site is down. Google cached the site in 12/31/2008. The domain registration is good until 2013 and still registered to Phil Tuttobene (original owner).


Are they still in business?

I think TAW has been effectively bankrupt for some time. Phil has apparently been supporting any remaining customers personally - although no new products nor the prospect of any new products. Strikes me the loss of the website is simply the final straw.


I had the Rock Pro/Prelude combination at one time, but sold it off when it started to look increasingly like a dead end. The stand-alone VP market is tough, with agile competitors like Lumagen on one side and mid-market solutions built into players/displays on the other.

I emailed Phil a few weeks back and never got a reply... I think they are done, completely.


I have a ROCK PRO and I can't get it to display video from any of it's inputs... just menus output... anyone know what causes this? I haven't used it for a while and just booted it up...


RadianceXD is on it's way... but still wanted to use the SDI input from the rock.

Just enjoy the Radiance and be done with TAW. I have the former, and frankly see no advantage to SDI over HDMI (as long as your player is sending native 480i from the DVD).

Perfect. Thanks. I just thought SDI would be a little better than 480i component.

You want to use 480i over HDMI (thus digital) rather than 480i over component if you can do it! I think SDI would still be better than analog 480i.

Got it. Thanks.
