The ImMIX VideoCube uses the SCSI chain to interface with the Mac that controls
it. The additional storage modules (hard drives) and archiving tape devices
are also in the SCSI chain. Right now, there is no way to hook up an
independent device to the best of my knowledge.

That is interesting, Eric. So if someone wanted to and InMIX would
release the spec, they could write an Amiga based front end, or IBM
Compatible, Unix, NT, etal.? I have been wondering if anyone was going to
do this with the Pinnacle Alladin, which is also _just_ a SCSI device.

John:
Theoretically, yes. ImMIX is a Unix-based computer, from what I understand. I
also have heard rumors that ImMIX will come out with an add-on 3-D DVE effects
unit (similar to Alladin) in the future. Probably a SCSI interface as well.

Eric,
Avid reports that they will interface with Aladin for true 3D DVE effects.

"I also have heard rumors that ImMIX will come out with an add-on 3-D DVE

I don't see it as an add on, more of an upgrade. It would make more sense to
change the video effects processor card (one of the four cards in the Media
processor) so that it may perform 3d DVE moves. The ImMix current upgrade is a
board swap from the composite/s-video to a Component-composite-s-video card.
