1410.0. "slide creation under decwindows" by BERN01::TRACHSEL () Mon Sep 11 1989 13:14

hellow,

what dec- or other software allows to fullfill following 4 points:

1) create high quality color slides/pictures for praesentations, dias etc.

2) provides a interface to ddif and postscript (color <--> monochrome)

3) is DECwindows integrated (not only in a vt3xx, vt2xx emulation, but
   supp. of mouse etc., like decw$paint, but colored etc.)

4) supports thermo-transfer-printing

what kind of standards/formats (also in relation to ddif converting) should 
one consider else, if this searched product has to support video-camera-systems
for image acquisition etc.(input), and dia-creation (output)

how far is DECpresenter, could it be an alternative?

thanks p.t

1410.1	Sounds like DECpresenter	PDVAX::P_DAVIS	Peter Davis	`Tue Sep 12 1989 15:40`	12
	DECpresenter will meet the first 3 of the four requirements you listed. The 4th depends on your finding a thermal-transfer printer that supports PostScript. As for video cameras, etc. for image capture, contact the Image Services Group or check their notesfile at VISUAL::IMAGING. DECpresenter's currently in Phase 2. There will be internally available baselevels later this year.
1410.2	QMS ColorScript 100	KASINO::TALLETT	Just one more bug to fix...	`Wed Sep 13 1989 05:50`	13
	Hi there! For colour thermal transfer PostScript, see the QMS ColorScript 100 from QMS on (205)633-4300. I have seen a few engineering groups using these for some time, and it looks great. Regards, Paul Tallett, CEC Karlsruhe West Germany
1410.3	rags, voyer <=> DECpresenter ?	BERN01::TRACHSEL		`Thu Sep 14 1989 03:20`	9
	hellow everybody answering me, great! thanks to you! just a last question: has RAGS, VOYER, etc. something to do with DECpresenter? peter
1410.4		STAR::MFOLEY	Rebel without a Clue	`Thu Sep 14 1989 10:59`	8
	Nope.. RAGS/VOYER is an internal product and DECpresentor will be a layered product sold to customers. (Yes, I know RAGS/VOYER may be available thru ASSETS but that's a wee bit different) mike

	re: .1 Any idea where VISUAL::IMAGING went? Or for that matter the netkits for DAS, DSS, VAS, VSA all of which used to be on VISUAL? thanks dave
1410.6	A-OK	HABS11::MASON	Explaining is not understanding	`Mon Dec 11 1989 16:13`	4
	VISUAL::IMAGING is alive and well. So is EDWIN::IMAGE_SERVICES, where you probably should look for the kit question's answer. Gary
