We are getting to the final stages of specifying a multimedia system for
training purposes.  We decided to use DVI technology instead of a VCR or
laserdisc player.  IBM's ActionMedia II board set/software package fits
our requirements perfectly.  However, the IBM rep. we spoke with said
that the video output resolution was fuzzy.  The reviews I have seen
have all said that ActionMedia video quality is not production quality, but
it is adequate for training and presentations.

My question is to anyone who is using this board set:  How fuzzy is the
resolution and is it adequate for training purposes?

We are using a DEC 486/33 with Asymetrix Multimedia Toolbook for authoring,
and a 16" monitor with 1024x768 resolution.

Any answers (either post or e-mail) would be greatly appreciated.  We are
ready to order this board set.  However, we want to check on the resolution
issue before actually committing.
