Well, I picked up my Amiga this weekend. I live just outside Toronto and understand that this SIG is sponsered by TPUG. Can anyone from TPUG tell me a little about the user group? I'm especially interested in working with graphics; mixing computer graphics with video images. Is anyone else in TPUG working in this area, know anyne who is, or able to point me in the right direction? Thanks, Mike Butler *** There is a reply: 42275 Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n

To mix video with computer images you will need some hardware which CBM is going to be releasing first of the year: a "frame grabber" which digitizes a video frame so you can capture & work on it, and a "genlock" unit which fiddles all of the TV synchronizing signals so that the Amiga and TV images are all timed together right. Accodring to the local hardware guys (Amiga engineering in Los Gatos, CA), these items are well along and work *great*. You will be able to do your own Star Wars effects. The hardware is due out 1st quarter 1986. Enter command, N for next message or <CR> for menu : n
