[comp.graphics] Is Amiga "LIVE!" dead?

jbn@glacier.UUCP (05/16/87)

      Remember "LIVE", last year's vaporware real-time frame-grabber for
the AMIGA, from A-Squared Systems?  Anything like it on the market, for
any low-end machine?  I'm only interested in real-time frame grabbers that
can blast every frame of an NTSC TV signal into memory, not the 
"only takes a few seconds" units.

AMIGA Live! is very much alive. Rumors abound, that Arthur and Wendy will
be making an "important announcement" at the next FAUG 
meeting on June 2. I've seen in demonstrated, at it looked good then, and
it should be even better now. 

One of the delays was caused by legal problems with CA, which have apparently
been resolved. I also think that additional delays resulted from trying to make
it more comparable to Digi-View, in being able to do HAM pictures. You may
want to come to the FAUG meeting, or better yet, drop on in at the Amiga
developers meeting at Stanford, this Thursday night, both Arthur and Wendy
(the A-Squared people) are always there.

If you are really needing one, they will make up custom units, but it
costs about 1K$.
