	Hello,
		I need some advice on an imaging system and would
	appreciate any and all help.  My customer need the following
	in a system whose total cost must be < 130K.
	   - Minimum 1024 x 1024 resolution for frame grabber
           - Must be able to display 1024 x 1024
           - Must be able to display entire image (not necessarily 
		at same resoluton) i.e. he wants to "scrunch" images
           - Needs to be compatible with cameras in the same class
              as the "Videk Mega +" with slow scan capabilities
           - Frame grabber needs 8 bit resolution
           - Monitor should be color for conversion of greyscale 
              to color.
           - System must have enough memory to hold 10 images or
              a very fast disk (i.e. he doesn't like waiting long)
           - It would be nice if the system had lookup tables, graphics
              overlay capabilities, arithmetic functions, was compatible
              with array processors & such, and fit into a 19' rack.
           - It would also be nice if there was software libraries
              available for it.

	Since my only experience has been with wireframes on a Megatek,
	I thought I'd better ask people in the know. If you have any
 	advice, thoughts, experiences, etc please drop me a line.

					Thanks in advance,

						Bill
