3.    DESIGN REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION CHANGES

3.1   DESIGN REVIEW  MEI/VSD is entitled to conduct periodic reviews to ensure
      its satisfaction with the Services.  Upon reasonable notice Truevision
      shall allow MEI/VSD, during Truevision's normal business hours, to visit
      its places of business for development and manufacturing to discuss and

TRUEVISION TRUEVISION MEI/VSD D&D AGREEMENT     MEI/VSD

<PAGE>

          the Deliverable and so inform Truevision in writing; or (ii) reject
          the Deliverable and provide Truevision with a written statement of
          Errors.  Notwithstanding the Development and Payment Schedule, MEI/VSD
          shall not be obligated to pay for any Deliverable for which MEI/VSD
          has submitted to Truevision a statement of Errors until Truevision has
          corrected such Errors to the reasonable satisfaction of MEI/VSD.

4.2       (b)  TRUEVISION RESPONSE.     Within fifteen (15) working days after
          receipt of the statement of errors, Truevision will, as mutually
          agreed either (i) accept return of the Deliverables and correct the
          Errors in any Deliverable as set forth in the Statement of Errors,
          (ii) if practical, have Truevision's engineer(s) visit MEI/VSD's

          MEI/VSD.

          (c)  OMISSION. If MEI/VSD fails to give a statement of Errors within
          the specified time, MEI/VSD will be deemed to have accepted the
          Deliverables.

4.3   FAILURE OF PROCEDURES    If, within a reasonable time Truevision is unable
      to correct the Errors or deliver new Deliverables as provided in Section
      4.2(b), or if the parties are unable to agree upon a Recovery Plan or
      Truevision is unable to carry out such Recovery Plan, MEI/VSD may: (i)
      terminate this Agreement for cause pursuant to Section 10.3(c) whereupon
      Truevision shall have no obligation to continue the Services thereafter; 
      or (ii) suspend its performance under this Agreement until the parties can
      mutually agree on a revised schedule.

4.4   PAYMENT.  MEI/VSD will make payments to Truevision in accordance with the
      Development and Payment Schedule, provided that: (i) MEI/VSD has issued 
      the necessary purchase orders to Truevision, (ii) Truevision has completed
      the milestones set forth therein; and (iii) MEI/VSD has accepted the
      Deliverables.  Such payments will be due net 30 days from the later of

      meet and discuss an appropriate way to reduce the expenses to a minimal
      level, or to reimburse Truevision in some manner for expenses incurred.

5.3   APPORTIONING OF FEES PAID BY MEI/VSD.   Truevision acknowledges that a
      portion of the non-recurring engineering fees to be paid by MEI/VSD under
      this Agreement is related to Truevision's acquisition of knowledge about
      the DVCPro Codec and various digital interface methods.  The parties agree
      that, pursuant to a separate OEM Agreement (the "OEM Agreement") for the
      sale of the Product that the parties will negotiate in good faith,
      Truevision will pay MEI/VSD an amount equal to such portion of the non-
      recurring engineering fees if Truevision's sales of products that
      incorporate DVCPro technology exceed a mutually agreed minimum threshold.

5.4   LICENSING OF MEI/VSD TECHNOLOGY.   MEI/VSD hereby grants to Truevision the
      right to all MEI/VSD Technology for the purpose of development,
      manufacture, service, sale. use, demonstration, and support of the Product
      to MEI/VSD and to third parties.  To the extent that the parties may later
      decide that the specific MEI/VSD Technology involves patents owned by
      MEI/VSD, such patented MEI/VSD Technology will, when identified, be listed
      in Exhibit G, and Truevision's rights to such patented MEI/VSD Technology
      will be governed by separate license agreement(s) as provided in Section
      5.8

5.5   TRUEVISION'S RIGHT TO PURCHASE COMPONENTS.  MEI/VSD will provide 
      Truevision with all MEI/VSD proprietary integrated circuits required for 
      incorporation into the Product or Derivative Products under a separate 
      agreement that the parties will negotiate in good faith.  To the extent 
      that MEI/VSD is not able to directly supply such integrated circuits as 
      Truevision requires, however, under certain terms and conditions that the 
      parties will negotiate and agree upon, MEI/VSD will provide authorization 
      to Truevision to purchase such integrated circuits directly from third 
      parties.

5.6   MEI/VSD'S PURCHASE OF THE PRODUCT. For One (1) year from MEI/VSD's
      acceptance of the PVT Unit Deliverables, MEI/VSD will have the right to
      purchase from Truevision such quantities of the Product as MEI/VSD may
      reasonably require, pursuant to the OEM Agreement.  Any such purchases 
      will be made pursuant to the OEM Agreement; provided that MEI/VSD will 
      have no obligation to enter into such an agreement or to make purchases 
      thereunder.

7.1   GENERAL.  The party obliged to indemnify hereunder, (the "Indemnifying
      Party") will, at its own expense,  indemnify the other party (the
      "Indemnified Party") and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from any

      any claims that may be instituted against the Indemnified Party including
      from any alleged infringement of any patents trademarks, copyrights, 
      licenses or trade secrets or other proprietary right  provided that: 

      (a) such claim is not based upon the combination, operation, or use of the

           information, assistance and authority, to enable the Indemnifying
           Party to defend the Claim.  

      The Indemnifying Party will pay such award, but will not be responsible 
      for any settlement made without its written permission.

7.2   MEI/VSD'S OBLIGATION.   Subject to the limitations contained in Section

      Technology into the Product or Derivative Products.  MEI/VSD shall have 
      the right to pass onto Truevision forward going costs of indemnification 
      that are attributable to Truevision's future manufacture, use and/or sale 
      of Products and Derivative Products that incorporate components to be 
      provided by MEI/VSD, through the future cost of such components provided 
      to Truevision by MEI/VSD pursuant to this Agreement and the agreement to 
      be negotiated between the parties referred to in Section 5.5.  MEI/VSD 
      agrees to give Truevision a minimum of Six (6) months prior written notice
      of its intention to pass on such costs. 

7.3   TRUEVISION'S OBLIGATION. Truevision will indemnify MEI/VSD for Claims
      against: (i) the Truevision Process Technology; (ii) the Truevision 
      Product Technology; and (iii) the MEI/VSD Technology that would not have 
      been brought but for Truevision's combination of such MEI/VSD Technology

      responsibilities accordingly.

7.5   INJUNCTION.    If the use or sale of the Product or components thereof
      supplied by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party is enjoined, 
      or the Indemnified Party reasonably believes is likely to be enjoined, at 
      the Indemnified Party's request and option, and without prejudice to the
      Indemnified Party's rights and remedies, the Indemnifying Party at its
      expense will:

           components thereof from the Indemnifying Party, or
     
      (b)  modify the allegedly infringing item to avoid the infringement,
           without materially impairing performance or compliance with the
           Product Specification or the specification of the components thereof,

           refund the purchase price, transportation costs and any other costs
           reasonably associated with such return.

7.6   LIMITATION.    The Indemnifying Party's indemnity obligations hereunder
      will be limited to the total amount paid by MEI/VSD to Truevision
      hereunder.  The foregoing states the entire liability of the Indemnifying
      Party for infringement of any third party rights.

7.7   LIMITATION ON MEI/VSD'S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY.  If Truevision develops
      and offers Derivative Products for sale to third parties and receives

      Products, MEI/VSD's obligation to provide future indemnification to
      Truevision for such Derivative Products under Section 7.2 of this 
      Agreement shall be limited to the ratio of XXXXXXXXXXXX to the actual  
      revenue Truevision receives for each unit of such Derivative Products.  
      The limitation with respect to the indemnification obligations of MEI/VSD
      contained in this Section 7.7 shall only apply to the indemnification
      obligations of MEI/VSD under Section 7.2 regarding costs which are (i)
      directly related to, and calculated with respect to, the per unit 
      revenues of Derivative Products sold by Truevision that are to be paid 
      to the party making the Claims, and (ii) related to sales of Derivative 
      Products by Truevision after the date that Truevision receives notice that
      MEI/VSD has entered into an agreement to settle a Claim, or has had a 
      final judgment with respect to which MEI/VSD does not intend to or does 
      not have the right to appeal, that requires payments to such a party 
      making a Claim.

11.1  RIGHT TO INDEPENDENT DEVELOPMENT.  Nothing in this Agreement will impair
      either party's right to acquire, license, develop, manufacture or
      distribute for itself, or have others develop, manufacture or distribute
      for it, technology performing the same or similar functions to the 
      Products or Derivative Products, or to market and distribute such similar
      technology in addition to, or in lieu of the Product or Derivative 
      Products.

11.2  PROPRIETARY RIGHTS NOTICE.    If any of the technology in the printed
      circuit boards or circuit substrates of the Product, as appropriate, is
      copyrightable, Truevision will cause such printed circuit boards or

      Truevision, Inc."

11.3  PERIODIC MEETINGS.  The parties agree to meet periodically at mutually
      agreed times and places to review technology and market developments.

11.4  FORCE MAJEURE Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in its
      performance under this Agreement due to causes, including, but not limited
      to, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, fires, epidemics,
      floods, earthquakes, riots, wars, sabotage, labor shortages or disputes,
      and governmental actions, which are beyond its reasonable control; 
      provided that the delayed party:  (i) gives the other party written notice
      of such cause promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) days of 
      discovery thereof; and (ii) uses its reasonable efforts to correct such 
      failure or delay in its performance.  The delayed party's time for 
      performance or cure under this Section 11.4 Shall be extended for a period
      equal to the duration of the cause.
     
11.5  RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES Truevision is an independent contractor.  Neither
      Truevision nor Truevision's employees, consultants, contractors or agents
      are agents, employees or joint venturers of MEI/VSD, nor do they have any
      authority to bind MEI/VSD by contract or otherwise to any obligation.  
      They will not represent to the contrary, either expressly, implicitly, by
      appearance or otherwise.  Truevision will determine, in Truevision's sole

      subject to the express condition that Truevision will at all times comply
      with applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement.

11.8  EMPLOYMENT TAXES AND BENEFITS   As between Truevision and MEI/VSD, it will
      be Truevision's obligation to report as income all compensation received 
      by Truevision pursuant to this Agreement and pay all taxes due on such
      compensation.  Truevision will indemnify MEI/VSD against and hold it 
      harmless from any obligation imposed on MEI/VSD to pay any withholding 
      taxes, social security, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation 
      insurance, disability insurance or similar items, including interest and 
      penalties thereon, in connection with any payments made to Truevision by 
      MEI/VSD pursuant to this agreement.

11.9  OTHER TAX IMPLICATIONS The purpose of development of the Deliverables 
      under this Agreement is to demonstrate that the Product developed 
      hereunder will conform to the Specifications.  The Deliverables have no 
      intrinsic value as an item.  As such, no value added, sales, or use taxes
      have been assessed or are anticipated to be required as a result of the 
      Services performed under this Agreement.  To the extent any such taxes 
      are ultimately assessed to Truevision as a retailer, MEI/VSD shall have 
      responsibility to discharge the claim with the assistance of Truevision.

11.10 INSURANCE Truevision will maintain insurance to protect itself from
      claims:  (i) by Truevision's employees, agents and subcontractors
      under workers' compensation and disability acts (ii) for damages
      because of bodily injury, sickness, disease or death of its employees
      or of any other person that arise out of any negligent act or omission
      of Truevision or Truevision's employees, agents or subcontractors; and
      (iii) for damages because of injury to or destruction of tangible or
      intangible property including loss of use resulting therefrom that
      arise out of any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct of
      Truevision or Truevision's employees, agents or subcontractors. 
      Truevision will insure all MEI/VSD property in its possession or
      control, including but not limited to any loan equipment, against all
      loss and damage and will reimburse MEI/VSD for any such loss or
      damage.

11.11 ASSIGNMENT   The rights and liabilities of the parties under this
      Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties'
      respective successors, executors and administrators, as the case may
      be; provided that, as MEI/VSD has specifically contracted for
      Truevision's services, Truevision may not assign or delegate its
      obligations under this Agreement either in whole or in part, without
      the prior written consent of MEI/VSD.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      either party may assign this Agreement to its parent, subsidiary, or
      affiliates effective upon written notice of such assignment to the
      other party.  Any attempted assignment in violation of the provisions
      of this Section 11.11 will be void.
     
11.12 EQUITABLE RELIEF  Because the Services are personal and unique, and
      because each party will have access to and become acquainted with
      confidential and proprietary information of the other party, the
