Movie Machine for NEXTSTEP, Release 2.0
=======================================
11. April 1995

THE DESKTOP VIDEO STUDIO
The MOVIE MACHINE Pro combines four features on one board: VIDEO over-
lay, TV-Tuner, framegrabber and VIDEO editing. The Movie Machine Pro
digitizes video regardless whether the source is an external composite
video signal or the internal TV-Tuner. The live video may be sized or
positioned on the computer screen. The digitized image can be stored
at any time as TIFF or printed out for further uses. No scanner could
be faster! Naturally you may put any of the input signals or stored
images back to video. Connect your local antenna or cable to the Movie
Machine Pro and you have Instant-TV on your desktop. The fully software
controllable TV-Tuner provides you with live news, sport magazines or
simply comics whenever you click on your TV icon. The smart TV software
offers ready-to-run channel tables from over 120 countries equipped.
Want some more? Just start the automatic program search which will find
your favorite TV station. The software MMStudio provides you with your
own Private Desktop Video Studio. You can "cut", "mix", or "zoom" any
combination of  the live video sources and see the instantaneous re-
sults on a video monitor or record them to a VCR. A realistic image
of a T-Bar controls effects like "wipe", "flip", and "move". In
addition, composing images into the live video is supported by color-,
chroma- and luma-keying. In combination with the CODY board you can
record and play back movies from and to video. The CODY digitizes a
live video source directly onto your harddisk. Once digitized you may
use it in NEXTIME, edit or play it back to video again.
