Radius has recently come out with a new card for the Macintosh, called the
Videovision, which is supposed to facilitate video capture, output NTSC,
and function as a 24 bit video display card for certain resolution monitors.
I would be interested in hearing if anyone has seen this card yet, and if
so, what his/her opinions are on it.  Thanks -

Well,  I read and read and called and read and called but still
nobody will quote me the same spec twice.  Microtimes (periodical)
reviews it as great 24 fps adhearing to NTSC, PAL, SECAM In;
NTSC, PAL Out.  Radius says the above plus $2,399 list, 24 bit conv.
Video/Audio In/Out (audio=stereo); 2 S-Video In, 1 S-Video Out
2 composites in, 2 stereo audio in, 1 stereo audio out, 1 external
audio in, one card, variable window resizing and H-Bus, R-Bus
and external expansion port.

I'm not sure what all that means but what I needed to know is:
1)  Can it import and export 30, 30-drop and 29 frames per 
second?
2)  Can one cut and paste without loosing sync exponentially?
3)  Is it compatable with the new Quicktime out this fall?
4)  Can I display more than a baseball card of landscape without
degrading frames per second (full screen video would be nice)?
5)  Will I still use up approx 1 gig for a 30 min. presentation?
6)  Will compression degrade quality upon decompression?
    a)  Is compression still a dirty word?
7)  Will VideoVision work with Second Wave's  SE/30's expansion
chassis (it turns the PDS slot into 8 nubus slots and accelerates
SCSI)?
 

Well...... Well.............................................
