To the Toronto Local Siggraph Membership:
Our next Siggraph event is scheduled for Tuesday, April 17 at 8pm at
Apple Canada in the multimedia centre. Our host will be Steve
Sklepowich, and he'll be giving a brief introduction and overview of Apple's
approach to desktop computing, after which we'll all breakout to four
briefing centres:
-Multimedia;
-Illustration and Design;
-Design and Modelling; and
-Technical Productivity.
All systems will have 24-bit pixels. There will also be one of the new
40MHz FX machines, one of the new RISC based 24bit accelerators, an A/UX
2.0 machine, and a prototype video interface that lets you capture live
video sequences and play them back from the Clipboard. So many things
to try! So bring all those Mac CG and video questions and get some answers.
Also to note, this is an RSVP event as attendance is limited. Please
call Bill Wright at Design Vision ( 585-2020 ) to secure a spot and get
directions.

sessions on:
-television production and post production, including digital
-film and the film/tape interface
-enhanced and advanced television systems
-the Telesat Canada HDTV mobile will be there!
REGISTRATION is $80 which includes a Friday night wing-ding, and lunch.

That's it for now. /Bill Wright
