What video I/O boards are available for Liberty on SGI IRIX systems?
Liberty supports video boards on a number of SGI IRIX workstations, including Octane Video, O2 Video, and Impact Video. Within Liberty, you can grab single frames from these boards, and show single frames out. You can also enable real-time show, which displays the canvas to video out in real-time. In this manner, the artist can see live output on the NTSC/PAL monitor as they are working. These video boards can also be used with disk arrays, and with deck (VTR) control, to get video clips in and out of Liberty. More on this below. Refer to the Liberty Technical Reference Manual for more info on supported video devices and their set-ups.
