>>Actually, I believe that the Snappy card…<< Snappy is not a card but rather a custom ASIC inside a dongle that does the image processing. You may be right that it will not have a role in Trinity, but that is what I was told by Mark Randall (one of those who came from New Tek). Mark is a shrewd marketeer and may have "enhanced" the Snappy story, but on the surface it makes sense. What I saw of Trinity at NAB was some incredible image processing in both a paint program and a couple DVEs. They seem to have plenty of work left to do, but image processing they seem to be doing quite well. If you know some of the technical specifics of about what they are doing, I'd love to hear them.
