I want to put up each of the three images on a separate monitor (RGBS, 640x480, 30Hz non-interlaced) such that it fills its monitor screen, without spending Big Bux. I think I know how to do it for $10k+ per monitor: use lots of RGB switchers. The source images can be placed anywhere convenient on the source screen, and stay there. No fair encoding the source image into NTSC: too much resolution is lost. Do you know where to buy, or how to build, a relatively simple black box to do this thing? I need to do it to at least 16 monitors and maybe 256 (!), so perhaps economies of scale are relevant? Please respond SOON if you have any ideas. Many thanks. -- Michael Harris MHarris @ BBNA BBN Labs 10 Fawcett Street Cambridge, MA 02238 617-497-3794 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Feb 86 15:40:11 PST From: stephan@wilbur.ARPA (Stephan Keith) Subject: Bay Area SIGGRAPH San Francisco Bay Area SIGGRAPH Announcement - TITLE: ANIMATION ON THE MACINTOSH - WHO: MARNEY MORRIS, Software Artist Marney Morris is a software artist who does animation and art screens for personal computers. She has done work for Broderbund, Activision, Scarborough, Koala Technologies, Xerox, and Hesware. Shes done animation on the MacIntosh, Apple II, Commodore 64, and IBM PC. Marney will be showing work by various animators including Mike Saenz (creator of "Shatter" comics), Mark Pierce (an original designer of "Videoworks"), Karl Hauser, and Stuart Sharpe. The presentation is designed to both share some of the exciting ideas that are being developed on low cost animation systems, and to encourage other artists in the community to work in these areas. - WHO: SCOTT KIM, Author Scott Kim is a graduate student at Stanford University in Computers and Graphic Design. His paradoxical lettering designs have appeared in Omni, Scientific American, Science Digest, Smithsonian and A+. Most recently, Scott has completed "Inversions for the MacIntosh", a collection of fonts, MacPaint puzzles and animation to accompany his book "Inversions". Current obsessions include making computers less painful to use, the graphic design of computer screens, and using computer graphics to explain mathematics. He also works at Information Applicance, a company founded by Jef Raskin, one of the creators of the MacIntosh. Scott will show animated works in Thinktank, MacPaint, Filevision and Videoworks. -> WHEN: 8 pm, Tuesday, 25 February 1986.
