With regard to the audio digitization feature, I assume that it can capture sound at the "normal" MacRecorder levels (i.e. up to 22 KHz). Does it have the capability to capture sound at 44.1 KHz; what about custom frequencies? The one disadvantage with most sound-capture devices on the Macintosh is that the length of sounds is limited by available RAM. Does RadiusTV have this limitation? It's probably not important because RadiusTV's probably more geared to video, but since Radius added audio...well... A friend of mine played with a frame grabber from MassMicro (I don't remember the company's exact name--sorry) and had complaints about the low-resolution of NTSC signals causing grabbed images to leave every other line blank (this is the digitized image in PICT format). Does RadiusTV have this problem? Will RadiusTV support other signals beside NTSC and RGB such as PAL and SECAM (I won't have a need but it's nice to know). Will Radius support S-Jacks in the future--I know that it doesn't have them now? With respect to update speed, does it take more overhead--is it slower--updating a larger screen area?
