Of course, I may be wrong but that is what I understand. "... is news to me. :-) I'm the lead author of Allison and the board, due to its design and the firmware can only do 15 frames per second. Now, then... if and this is a big if, the firmware were re-written it is possible by skipping some horizontal scan passes to get 30 frames per second. I haven't done this so I can't say for sure. Ron Mercer (Emerald Visions) has told me he's done it and said you get half a screen wide by full screen tall images at this frame rate (30 fps). That makes sense since you have to skip something. Software would have to "scrunch" the image to make its proportions proper. _______________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Gentry * ALPE AFL Scott * I never said that!| | 2051 Mercator Drive * GEnie W.GENTRY * But you never | | Reston, VA 22091 * UUCP: uunet!ingr!ne1300! * know! | | (703) 264-5652 * brnded!scott * Do You? | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
