Yes, my "Mystery Lights" is one of the images they are using.  I was totally
jazzed when they contacted me, my first POV gig!  I asked a few questions,
and in return I got a picture of the demo they are running, I'll post it to
p.b.i.

Basically though, its a grid showing several thumbnailed images.  The user
selects an image, then selects to render it either on 2 JS20s or 40 JS20s
running in parallel.  They compare the render speed.   (I'm assuming that 40
JS20s in parallel should give a pretty significant performance boost...)
Nice looking display!

Congrats to all the POVers who have images in the demo, and thanks to the
POV team for such a great tool!
