Perhaps you can enlighten me, but I've recently regarded these distinctions between "24 bit," "21 bit" and NTSC vs. RGB as somewhat pointless… For many video-oriented Amiga users, isn't NTSC the be-all-and-end-all output format? Even if your HAM-E is spitting our RGB, many users – not all, of course – are planning on using someone's RGB to NTSC converter to lay it down to video. I can imagine people who don't want or don't desire any contact with NTSC. For example, if HAM-E support was direct in ASDG's scanner stuff, the images would look much better in preview in HAM-E than HAM or NTSC. How do you assess this split between pure RGB users and NTSC users? Are most HAM-E users going to NTSC, or do they avoid it like the plague?
