"RT Software was drawn to the convenience of the NextDimension. A broadcast spec PC that can go on a flight as hand baggage makes overseas demos a breeze. Before NextComputing we had to lug a HP Workstation to overseas customer sites involving hassle, excess baggage charges and damaged product.

The quality of SDI and HD SDI graphics out is every bit as good as conventional rack mount workstations. Having support for video in makes it a complete broadcast graphics solution."
