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.) .mike. -- .mike.
