Sounds nice.....Now how about seeing some animation on this baby. (I've heard that it can do some real-time animation in at least 4096 colors HI-RES.) >Looks like it's all set to go, complete with packaging, >just waiting for FCC approval. The box is about the size I and half the world has heard this one before... FCC seems to be a real pain in the ass when some good product comes around (HDTV will be here soon honest...no really, oh yeah and Digital Audio Tapes to replace CD's no prob...as SOON as FCC approves..) Don't hold your breath on this stuff. Until it gets approval, THEN we can make the hoopla about this fabulous product. >I got the blurb sheet, but too tired to type in now... I would love to see the blurb sheet:::PRONTO! >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. $400 + $400 for frame-grabber and 24-bit card, plus getting Macro Paint for 24-bit paint program, and Imagine for 3-D graphics, plus a genlock and chroma-key and extra effects and what'dya got? A Toaster at twice the cost!!(But then again, with the set-up like the above statement, expansion beyond the Toaster would be a heck of a lot eaiser, since everything bought is a different component, instead of one jumbled product that leaves you at the mercy of the company that produced it.) Well, enough babble at 2:00 in the morn..... **A friendly word from*********************.-.******************************* .--. .-..-. .-..--..-.-, .--..--. / / a.k.a.
