   we are working on a computer animated film for
a conference inb November and were wondering if
any out there in Netland has the appropriate
film production facilities hooked up to Apollo's. 
we would greatly appreciate any and all responses!!!

Have you talked to the people at Intelligent Light?
They do alot of that stuff with Apollo's forming
the basis of their system.  Don't expect to get 
anything cheap or free, however.  Here's some info

INTELLIGENT LIGHT INC
P.O. box 65
Fairlawn, NJ  07410
201-794-7550

We have some video editing facilities, but currently
lack an encoder to convert 
Apollo RGB output into NTSC video.  The cost of such
a box is about $13000.  We have a PC-based system 
for processing satellite images that we run on the 
PC Co-processor and it drives a separate video monitor.
