<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>some questions were aroused today </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>by my video-artist friend and, well, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I submit them to you, Juha Vehviläinen <<A
href="mailto:jusu@iki.fi">jusu@iki.fi</A>>,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>through the pd list because they are of a general
interest :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a/ we noticed that a frame is able to load a
video AND </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>separate images at the same time,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but images are always ON TOP of the
video,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the only way of removing them is to send
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a "clear" message to the frame</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and this makes you loose all the loaded
images.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>can we hope that they will behave as layers
one day</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so that we could show an image or the video
??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it could be a switch mode or a transparency
effect</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>( would prefer the later, of course ).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b/ is there a way that a frame could be sent
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to a video specific card like a Miro DC30
??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>c/ as i'm not hopping a positive answer to point
b/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>( I'm quite ignorant of Direct X but I know it's
not open tech,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so it must be a tough matter to redirect output
),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we'd be grateful if there would be a video
recording object one day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The goal of points b/ and c/ is to record the work
you do in real-time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for clarifications.</FONT></DIV>
