J.B. Nicholson-Owens writes | The way I see it is that the board: | | * has no close-captioning/titling capability (I've only heard about | this being promised, I don't recall reading about this in the | original or revised ad sheets NeXT sent). Until I hear hard | evidence that this was officially promised with this board, I | won't take any money off for it's absence. Food for thought: Type "titles over video" in Librarian, click Search (with the General Reference selected), and read the paragraph found in NXLiveVideoView() "In this mode, the NXLiveVideoView can also draw over the video; this is useful, for example, to place titles over video." Of course, if you continue reading carefully, you'll notice that it can't really do anything useful - but I already know of one individual who considered purchasing NeXTdimension systems for broadcast use after reading this very document (which hasn't really changed between 2.1 and 3.0) until I pointed out the fine print (I own a NeXTdimension). | -- Jeff (jeffo@uiuc.edu) | -- NeXTmail ok -- Brian Willoughby Software Design Engineer, BSEE NCSU BrianW@SoundS.WA.com Sound Signal Processing Software and Consulting NeXTmail welcome - NO EMAIL SOLICITATION without prior permission
