I am interested in using the Amiga to do ass near broadcast quality animation as possible for our video unit - they have always used expensive outside companies that cost a fortune. I have seen the reviews of animation programs like Sculpt and am impressed by evryones view of the Amiga as a graphics tool. My question is: What is the highest resolution available? I need at least 1024x768 with full 24-or 32-bit colour. I spoke to a local Amiga dealer who said the Toaster hi-res board is still not available... Haave I missed something or are there other boards that can get me similar performance Simon Standen

I have been using a mimentics 24 bit 765x494. This is outputs
standard NTSC output. It works very well and is available now. The
only problem is it take a few seconds to load a frame. You would
need to use a frame by frame recorder. It is supported by Sculpt,
Silver, and many other software packages.
There is also a software package that lets you use an AMIGA
bridge card with a TARGA board as an output device.

re: 1024x768 resolution requirement, 32-bit color.
Eh? NTSC standard television has 480 lines per frame. Is your
application other than US (or European - closer to 600 lines) standard
broadcasts or videorecordings.
For a large palette, beyond 24 bits resolution, you are talking about
graphics workstations like Silicon Graphics, or some of our models, at
many times the price of any Amiga.
If you are looking for "near broadcast quality," an Amiga with
video-oriented software and peripherals is right up your alley. In
Massachusetts, the best dealer to contact in this specilization is
probably Soft Designs, Trapelo Rd, Belmont.
