Primarily, 2Xtreme is used with graphics workstations. Graphics cre-
ated on the workstation are transferred to 2Xtreme for realtime play-
back. You can also record live video on 2Xtreme and transfer these
images to the workstation for rotoscoping or other manipulation.
2Xtreme is the ideal interface between computer imaging and video.
This section provides an overview of a typical system incorporating
2Xtreme.
