someone here is interested in making video tapes of animated graphics
-- basically they need to take a sequence of color postscript frames
and generate a video signal (presumably NTSC). assuming they can't
generate the frames in real time, they'll need to pre-generate them,
compress & store them, & then replay them. does a next dimension
have the right hardware to do this? could a nextstation do it?
(i've been using mono cubes for a long time, but haven't looked in
to the color machines yet.)
