Microsoft Playmation?
Message #30363
Here's a message that Martin Hash (Hash Enterprises, Anjon Assoc., creator of Playmation) posted recently… MARTIN'S MINUTES – April 29, 1993 Where Have I Been? It's been a few weeks since I've posted any messages to the net and I apologize for that, but I think the juicy news that…

Message #30362
Glad to see you're back, Ben. I've got a long list of ARexx scripts I'd love to see you write for ImageMaster: an automatic thumb-nail generator (given N images in a directory, rescale them all to fit in a given small size and tile them into a 24-bit 640 x…

#30320-ANIM7
Message #30361
Well, I got Viewtek and it works great. Too bad ANIM7 still doesn't cut it for speed. I attempted a 4 bitplane, hires overscan DCTV anim with small deltas… My 3000 still could not approach 30fps (ANIM7 got me closer at about 20fps). I guess the poor-man's solution to SFR…

Jeff, Since the program you refer to is for use on PC's, this is probably not the best place to upload it… but we would sure appreciate a TEXT file describing the program and maybe where it can be found on CIS. Thanks for the info.

The article is intended for non-experts who'd like to begin using clip art to create such items as signs, banners, greeting cards, letterheads, business cards, envelopes, postcards, and certificates. Therefore, what I'd like very much and wd appreciate…

Jerry, If you check out the newest issue of VTU (should be hitting stands any time now) you will find a review of TAO Editizer. Although I did not have the oppourtunity to test the Editizer with all the machines they claim to support, I was able to execute all…

Montage delivery
Message #30357
Has anyone yet received their copy of "Montage" by InnoVision? Last promise I received was for a mid May delivery. Still waiting! There was a rumor that the program had a "bug" in its interaction with the Toaster software. Any truth in that? Regards to all…… HILARY.

Yes, definitely a typo! (oops) I am still trying to reproduce what you have described to me, and I can't seem to get it to happen. Are you scrolling a page at a time, or a single click of the scroll arrow at a time? Are you in interlaced mode?…

Message #30353
Andrew I not sure, really, if I'm going to use the Amiga for color DTP. But it's getting so that I need color capability more and more. So should I spend $$ on RAM and storage for my DOS box, or on the Amiga? I'd get better usage out of…

Pat, I figured as such, but the punchline is so *lame*. I actually expected a hack that would strip bit-planes out of selected modes, and not run some of the others. //Jonathan, \\//via AutoPilot

Ok, Thanks for the info on TAO. I doubt if I will go with them based on what you say. I mean they are a little pricy. Do you know anything of Mediaphile ? I received info from them calling for only a $200 software program to control the Visca.…

Message #30347
Barbara, Just out of curiosity, what made you think of the Amiga to do Colour DTP? Although I would be considered a low end user (never having worked on images greater than 1Kx1Kx16c) I wasn't aware that there was sufficient support for Prepress Image Manipulation. What software would you be…

Tom, on your "Transcode 60 fps non-interlaced images to 30 fps laced", that's what I can't get out of the FS . Just think, if we could do that, we could have PC to PC wipes and disolves and just do away with the cameras alltogether . Well, can't have…

Erik, on the "not 'pure' colors" in the bars, now that you mention it, it probably has to do with allowing reference black to float naturally rather than doing a hard black clamp at digital zero. Bet the same impurity showed up in every one of them . Well, what…

#30300-ImageMaster & DCTV
Message #30338
I can speak from experience that Rend24 does NOT produce a good HAM picture when converted from HAM8. I tried Rend24 and IM. Rend24 produced yellowish HAM images, while ImageMaster produced the results I expected, and more. Stick with the pro stuff, Peter, there's a big difference. Rend24 is great…

Rocky, I have the TAO Editizer, and am using it with my Toaster setup and some Sony RS-422 decks. I know that TAO's support of the VISCA protocol is very recent, and based on my experience, before you buy the machine, get something IN WRITING from TAO saying that their…

Message #30329
Rend24 has nothing to do with ADAM. Tom Krehbiel wrote Rend24 prior to ImageFX, originally without DCTV support even. DCTV, and a few other features, made their way into Rend24 later on. ADAM was from a different author altogether. Kermit Woodall

Thanks, good arguments, however the majority of the people on this thread don't have the immediate needs for the other 'features' offered by a high end recorder. The benefit of 24bit real-time playback is that you can use any recorder, and not worry about the added expense of decks that…

Yeah, RGB Amiga modes seemed a bit better through the new T4000, but I could only compare it to my work setup, and there are too many variables. (Like the fact that the people that were showing the T4000 had the color balance of their monitors WAY off, and they…

Can anyone comment on the new Ami-Link which has just come out? VIP I think it's called. Also what about the possibility of linking this TAO Editizer with the Amiga and a Toaster. It is a PC editor which I know links to a toaster. I do have a 486-50Mhz…

John: Nope, because you can't tell if they did or they didn't. Some of the DEM's have an RMS vertical error of 7.5 meters, others are 15 meters. At 15 meters you can 'lose' a 4 story building. And that doesn't say that each point will be within 15 meters,…
