Outbound BBS Vancouver, BC CANADA >(604) 322-9579 e._john_love@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca I've been holding out on DCTV in anticipation of ColorBurst, which may or maynot ever hit the streets. The reason? Composite vrs. RGB. But I've started thinking about that. I can definately see choosing DCTV over CB if I were into video. But what about it's possible use for Color DTP? Would'nt the actual data involved be the same for Composite as well as RGB? The only difference is the actual monitor display. Although I know in the world of DTP, WYSINWYG, how much of a difference would an RGB device make over a composite device? Curious....
