I have read about the lightwave upgrade, can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. Has anyone heard anything about the upgrades for everything else? By chance would the pixelation on DVE's be reduced/eliminated? Tom Spyrison

There has been nothing but speculation on upgrades of the other Toaster modules as yet. I expect they may go the LightWave route and start upgrading things separately. Referring to the pixellation in DVE's, you might see some reduction of this effect in the near future. I've seen the Matrox Studio 2D DVE's and some are slightly better than Toaster's. Hopefully, some genius at Alcatraz will make a breakthru in A/D conversion and Digital Quantizing. It's these type of chips which take stuff like the Ampex ADO way up the multi-bucks ladder.

Any know if it is true that the OpalVision DVE on a 4000 is 1×1 pixel? Joe Maulucci >>> AP ENGAGED

Joe: I heard that claim as well, but don't know for sure. I bet against it though. TJ
