   M-motion is IBM's video digitizing board.  It allows a video input (NTSC
or PAL) to be digitized and displayed in real time (i.e. 30 fps).  The
video image can be overlayed with computer generated VGA graphics.
Since the video image is actually digitized (unlike the previous
Infowindow display), the image can be windowed and positioned anywhere
on the display.  (This also makes it easy to implement sound over still.)
   M-motion will also allow you to do audio and video capture.  Using
these features you could create presentations (using stillframes and AM
quality audio) that don't require a video player at the delivery
station (you would still need the M-motion, however).
