Did anyone think of this option? Why does the LCD have to be full motion video, etc? Why can't they just continue using their old art tools and just install the LCD and pass the colored animations across?
For example:
When you saw the making of METALLICA. You saw someone (Mark?) creating effects for the tombstones in color for metallica. Maybe there were 16 colors or 256, not sure. Imagine if Stern just passed the same animations across but in color on the LCD? It would be like every new Stern game would have a color DMD.
That wouldn't require ANY changes in the way DMD effects/animations are made. Win Win, we get color, Stern gets a new boost in technology and it still looks old school.
