Summary: Interesting point, Travis.... Message-ID: <7013@munnari.oz.au> Date: 7 Mar 91 03:27:50 GMT References: Sender: news@cs.mu.oz.au Lines: 26 As Travis has mentioned, us PAL users are indeed looking forward to a PAL video toaster. I have heard about the response it cause in the US and other NTSC countries and I am sure when NewTek release a PAL version it will have as much, if not more, success. I say this because after looking briefly at 1990's C= figures, somewhere around 50% of C= sales were in Europe, which is predominantly PAL. Thus, a PAL NewTek toaster MUST be on the boards based on this assumption. Also, PAL has some advantages and some disadvantages. It's main advantage, of course, is the extra 56 lines of screen in low-res and 112 in hi-res. This is a BIG bonus. I sometimes ponder having 200 lines filling up the whole screen and I wish C= would have released WB to test if the computer is PAL or NTSC. But due to our vertical scan rate, of 50Hz, our flicker is a lot worse than yours. You guys have 60Hz and flicker is much less noticeable, so I am told. I'd be interested to hear about this. --------krooglik@ecr.mu.OZ---- + Alex Krooglik |________________ + Faculty of Chemical Engineering |__________ +_______University of Melbourne________________________| --------krooglik@ecr.mu.OZ---- + Alex Krooglik |________________ + Faculty of Chemical Engineering |__________ +_______University of Melbourne________________________|
