Filmrecorders for SGI-workstations

[Assi Prof. Stucki]

Our group here is evaluating different filmrecorders to be used together with
a SGI-workstation. Any information about which models have been successfully
used is welcome. Specifically we are interested to know
- if there are low-level-interfaces ( pixel, scanline ) available for SGI-
  machines and/or Postscript-drivers, that produce output for a low-level-inter-
  face or talk directly to the filmrecorder. We have a lot of raster-images
  we can easily convert to raw-pixel-data and would like to send to the
  recorder as directly as possible. On the other hand it should be easy to
  use a postscript-file for image-description and have it sent to the
  recorder. It should be possible to process many slides without operator
  intervention ( for example over night ).
- what image-quality can be expected with the different models ( effective
  resolution on film, color-banding... ).

Please e-mail to "hafner at ifi.unizh.ch". I will post a summary.
Thanks!!
