- Hi Martin, sorry to interject here, but I was wondering if you have any
- CONCRETE information as to release and pricing information for the expansion
- modules for Opalvision. I just purchased it a week or so ago, not realizing it
- wouldn't work with my DCTV, and the digitizing module is not available yet
- *SOB* :-( .
-
- I wanted to get one for a fine arts exhibit at the Orland Park Civic Center,
- but that's the last week in January, and from what Centaur has told me, first
- it would be Mid January, now February or March. I would rather use the
- Opalvision than unplug it and use the DCTV (for one thing, the DCTV is not
- real-time). I am an artist who uses this computer for business (ok, I have
- some fun on it too) and I cannot really afford to stop producing work.
-
- Also, I am starting an art gallery and use Pagestream a lot for doing flyers
- and things, and I was wondering if there is any way to get previews of DTP
- files on the Opalvision screen in full color (16 colors isn't enough when
- you're trying to do professional work, not to mention that the hardware is
- already there and waiting to be taken advantage of).
-
- I seem to have rambled on a bit.... thanks for any info.
-
- BTW- what exactly will happen if you plug in a DCTV? Will it just not work or
- will it blow out a chip or what? DCTV might Come in handy for doing less
- memory-intensive anims (not that I'm saying your Opalvision isn't a GREAT piece
- of equipment, which it is). How about a HARDWARE JPEG compressor/decompressor?
- Waiting for JPEG really sucks, but 24 bit IFF takes up a lot of room.
