In response to Dyke Style's question about transputer based framestores,
Reality have transputer-based framestores (T800) with 768x576 (PAL) or 640x484 (NTSC)
resolutions.  Each board has a 12-bit in, 24-bit out CLUT.  This can be partitioned (by software)
into (say) 4 bits of R, G and B.  Where TRUE colour is required, 3 framestore boards can be configured
together.  There is also a framegrabber on board.  The virtual resolution is 2 million pixels.  Note that
this is a 12-bit deep memory, but 24-bit out. 


Hope this is some use - there address is:
