508.0. "Video capturing products" by HAZEL::MELLITZ () Wed May 20 1987 14:57

    Anyone seen the June Video review. Under "Great Gear". Well it looks
    like theres a video digitizer from "Digital Vision" called
    "Computereyes".  It will capture a color picture from any video
    source. They say it for the Atari ST, but indicate that it will
    work in black and white for Apple II's, Commodore, IBM PC's.
   
    
    I wonderer if they'll every get to doing it for the Amiga.
    
    Oh,BTW. Will Digiview work from any video source? Do you really
    need black and white camera with color wheels?

    Re: second part - Digiview
    First please note that I'm using the PAL version done in UK, but I think
    it's the same story for the NTSC one.
    Camera. You may use any camera with rs70 output. If it is a color
    ------- camera you must still use the colors wheel. If it has an RGB output
    you still need three passes but don't need to use the colors wheels.
    DigiView 2.0 ( or 1.2 do not remeber which number it is) provide
    a special tuning for color cameras.
    If the camera does not conform to RS70 standard then you'll have strange
    effects ( such as digitizing only the top-left corner of your image).
    Other inputs. I've tested digiview using as input a standard TV
    -------------  signal coming from either a station or from a VCR.
    In this case you may only have a B/W image ( no way of filtering
    the image at low cost for RGB components) but the results are quite
    good. 
    
    You may save your image either in the final form ( IFF file 32colors
    or HAM) or in the intermediate form ( 3 components RGB). Then,..
    using DIGI PAINT 2.0 .....
