Hi,
	
	We are in the process of setting up to intergrate our graphic
and animation creation services with video production. Our graphics
creation is on Macintoshs, so this will be the video graphics platform.
	
	PAL output is obtained from the Quadra built in video and an external
RGB -> PAL encoder. This gives us the choice of Overscan/Underscan and
optional convolution. The quality is good but this will not GenLock to
the TV production equipment. I have heard that the quality of most 
PAL output boards is disappointing. This may be due poor choice of image,
ie. attempting to display oversaturated colors. I am interested in
hearing of any other hardware that gives good results.  
	
	What we are looking for is a program that will take our graphics files,
which may be in EPSF,Pict,Pics or other formats, and display them on the
second screen (PAL). Automatic sequenceing and control of the VTR ( for frame
by frame recording of animations ) would be great.
	Some programs I have heard of are "VIDI Presenter" and
"The Animation Stand". Can anyone direct me to more information on either
of these programs or any other programs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
