Just saw Colorburst up close at the Los Angeles VideoExpo.
Very impressing, clean RGB images, a little flicker, but
what do you expect from interlaced???

Got to see the fades, wipes and high speed scrolling.
OK, imagine DigiPaint super-bitmap scrolling, except 
instead of HAM, you have a nice clean 768x480 24 bit 
image.  

Looks like it's all set to go, complete with packaging,
just waiting for FCC approval.   The box is about the size
of two thin California Access stacked together.  Got to
look inside, a few VLSI costume chips and a row of ZIP
static ram (1.5MB).  

I got the blurb sheet, but too tired to type in now...

Oh, one of the designers was there and said they are 
working on the 1/60th sec frame grabber.   It's gonna
be around $400 extra.    Time to sell my DCTV :-(
