Thank you for your interest in DIGI-VIEW! This video digitizer was designed to fully exploit the Amiga's diverse video capabilities. All modes are supported including the exclusive hold-and-modify mode for 4096 colors onscreen at once, and hi-res interlace modes for over 640x400 pixels. There simply is no better way to capture high quality images on the Amiga. To view the rolling demo of hold-and-modify images, enter CLI and type: cd Demo2: digiviewer You may stop the demo to view individual pictures by repeatedly pressing the spacebar. Disk drive activity should stop and a single picture will remain on the screen. Now type any letter A-Z. If the corresponding picture file is on the disk, it will be displayed. To start the automatic sequence again, press the F1 key. The monochrome photos are in IFF format and can be viewed with Deluxe Paint. Robert.lores can be loaded into normal 320*200 Deluxe Paint. Dozer.hires is in 640*400 mode, so you must use the high resolution version of Deluxe Paint (type 'dpaint hi'). These pictures cannot be viewed with 'digiviewer'. [Editor's note: The two pictures; robert.lores and dozer.hires can be viewed using the showilbm program which has been added to the demo disk. Use the command 'showilbm dozer.hires' for example. Fred Fish 16-Mar-86 ] The color photos are displayed in the 4096 color 'hold-and-modify' mode. There are currently no paint programs that can load files of this type. DIGI-VIEW is a monochrome device. A black and white camera with RS-170 2:1 interlace is required. We recommend the Panasonic WV-1410 which can be purchased from us for $250. Note that most older security-type cameras do not generate 2:1 interlace. Color photographs are digitized using a B&W camera and color filters over the lens. Three seperate passes are necessary. Use of a monochrome camera in this fashion results in a much higher resolution image with superior color rendition, as you can see. Due to their striped image tubes, consumer color cameras have much lower resolution. DIGI-VIEW plugs directly into the Amiga's parallel port. There are no manual adjustments. All parameters; bright, contrast, color, width, etc., are software controlled from the Amiga screen. DIGI-VIEW is not a real-time frame grabber. Capture times range from 5 to 30 seconds, depending on mode. Spatial resolution is 320*200, 640*200, or 640*400. Grey scale resolution is 7 bits, or 128 levels. Color photos are 21 bits, or 2,097,152 possible shades (maximum 4096 on screen). DIGI-VIEW will be available in May 1986. Retail price is $199.95. Call about dealer discounts.
