MainActor Broadcast does a pretty good job - I played with it at a dealer
and will most likely buy it when I have the money.  It's no scala, but
looked *great* running 24 bit anims, and synchs mods and soundfiles as
well. It has a few effects, like text scrolls, picture rotates,
transitions, etc.  All in all a nice 24 bit multimedia program, with great
Arexx support.  It even has an intuitive interface, which earlier
MainActor versions could NOT boast!

Btw, MAB does work with ECS/OCS machines, as well as doing HAM-6 and HAM-8
from what I saw. Don't remember if it has DCTV support or not.  I think,
IMHO, that it would make a very nice complement to Scala -- I'm glad I
don't have to choose between the two, being a long-time Scala owner!
