Frank, thank you for the information on this one. As I understand, keeping in mind that I have no working knowledge of the Toasters or Amigas (okay, so I'm out of touch, but trying to learn <g>), a 640 x 480 24 bit JPEG can be read into the Amiga without difficulty, but the aspect ratio will be incorrect? I've seen some of the files here in 736 x 482, 768 x 482, and a few others with mention of "overscan" parameters. In linking the PC generated 24 bit stuff back into the production switcher, we feed the analog R/G/B/S directly into the TBC which interprets it as an "isolated field", because of the Fh*2 sync rate, and internally transcodes to fully interlaced NTSC format, with exceptionally good results. The only thing we can't do this with is a 256 color dithered "real world" image, which creates a terminal case of the "wigglies" (aliasing), an effect you might be familiar with. While the aspect ratio of 1.333 is slightly off from the normal NTSC ratio, the difference is not critical (only about 8 pixels). Basically, the question comes down to; what size and aspect ratio should I use for PC mode generated images that are intended to be loaded and viewed as a single frame in the Toaster Pro, or high end Amiga system? And, if the single frame looks good, could the same specifications be utilized in a series of frames that would be compiled into an animation to be rendered by same. Again, I have no idea what I am talking about in the Amiga/Toaster area and am trying to get a bit of an education here. All the PC mode graphics generated, whether in the form of scanned, extracted from the TBC, or manually generated are in the form of a 24 bit image. Those extracted from the TBC come down as 72 bit data, but are converted to 24 bits. The component Y/Y-R/Y-B modes are not currently being used in this application. Any information and/or assistance is greatly appreciated. Vince
