If you look at it it is not Onyx-style kind of hardware, just eight 
standard dual processors boxes and a very clever image combiner they 
built, plus some really good programming to kick that off... :-)

If you consider going into the DI (digital intermediate) kind of work, 
baselight is just the software to use. I have had to work with a Specter 
system, had a good time at colorfronts office just around the time they 
renamed it Lustre, seen Quantels solution, but baselight is IMHO by far 
the most thought through product.

       Cheers,
