I did such a test with DCTV, using its paint program, saved the image in IFF24,
and took it home to view on my Mimetics board. Now, the Mimetics board is not
the greatest NTSC output I have seen, but when I displayed the image, the color
banding was terrible. But the fact is, it looked pretty good on the DCTV. I
think that's the bottom line, for the market they're attacking.
   I certainly agree about the NTSC problem though. I'm going to get a
FireCracker or something that outputs RGB in true 24bit color. I have a
reasonably good RGB-NTSC converter that can take it from there. You folks over
at Rhythm & Hues don't have to worry much about DCTV's NTSC output though, I
don't suppose :)
