Could I, for example, use the ND board to 1. Read in a NTSC signal, 2. Process it and put some graphics on top and 3. Send PAL S-VHS output?

Read in a NTSC signal, It does. > 2. Process it and put some graphics on top and You can have NTSC video displayed in NXLiveVideoView, and you can overlay drawing on top the live video and view it on ND screen. However, there is currently no way to get the (live video + ND overlay) again as video output from the ND. > 3. Send PAL S-VHS output? I believe ND supports this if you get a PAL version ND board. I don't think PAL/NTSC is software configurable.

Mayer (Hardy)) Subject: Re: NeXTdimension question You can have either PAL/SECAM or NTSC -- not both on the same board, according to a NeXT-person who demo-ed it here. (I guess you coulkd have two board in one cube?). Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.

It will take NTSC in and output S-Video (S-VHS is a tape format, S-Video is a cable/signal format, used by S-VHS decks, Hi-8 decks, and better TV sets!). I don't believe 2. is possible, either. The graphics overlay part, that is. Jim
