Not to be a pain in the rump or anything, but DCTV, like all of the other composite NTSC efforts, does not, and will never, be able to display 24 bit resolution. COmposite isn't capable of carrying that kind of precision. Claims to that effect are bunk. :^) That goes for the Mimetics FrameBuffer, the Toaster, DCTV, and anything really good like the FireCracker, ColorBurst, or HAM-E once you've stuffed what _was_ a good signal thru the nasty auspices of a composite conversion. S-VHS is much better, still not quite 24 bit. Also, we use high performance dithering in our RGB 18 bit space to represent a full 24 bits. Works great. Ben Amateur Radio Callsign is A A 7 A S
