First off, a custom demo running on a 25Mhz Amiga 3000 with a 1-2M/sec hard disk might not apply to a 7Mhz CDTV with 150K/sec CDROM. Secondly, the output module is rumored to be for viewing still shots from Photo-CD discs. OTOH, since P-CD isn't due until summer of '92, perhaps they _do_ intend something for the gizmo before then. > With the space available on each ROM, it seems to me like there would > be enough room for TWO sets of graphics most applications... > one being normal CDTV output, and the other in DCTV format...
