Hi,

Previously, there were MANY posts about the NeXTdimension board, and frankly,  
I'm confused.  Can someone clarfiy the following:

1) Does it have closed-caption, teletext, etc. support as originally claimed?

2) What about the problem it had with 15 pixels missing (a vertical black line)  
on the right side of the live video output (or input?) -- it couldn't really  
display 640 by 480, but 625 by 480!!!  Is it a hrdware problem (Oh, NO!) or a  
software problem (hope it's fixed in 3.0)?

3) Has anyone tried running RenderMan on a NeXTdimension? Is it much faster?

4) Compression in its future (JPEG or MPEG)?


Please relpy by e-mail to: esky@marathon.cs.ucla.edu

Thanks in advance!
