DYNA-SHOW 1.1
-------------

Dyna-Show is a easy to use viewer that supports the Dynamic HiRes and
Dynamic HAM modes available with Digi-View 4.0 software.

Dynamic HiRes can display 4096 colors in high resolution with overscan.

Digi-View 4.0 is a software upgrade (disk & manual) for Digi-View Gold
and the original Digi-View video digitizer.

DYNA-SHOW INSTRUCTIONS:

   From WorkBench:

      Double click on the picture 

   From CLI:

      Type "Dyna-Show FILENAME"

   The left mouse button will exit viewing the picture

OTHER NEW DIGI-VIEW 4.0 FEATURES:

* Dynamic HAM
  Dynamic palette control provides sharper HAM images
  virtually eliminating HAM fringing.  
  (Not currently with compatable with Amiga HAM paint programs)

* Noise Reduction
  Filters most high frequency background noise from the video
  signal for improved picture quality

* Super-Bitmaps/Digi-Paint
  Images may be displayed directly into Digi-Paint 3 for editing
  and enhancement.  HiRes images create auto-scrolling super-
  bitmaps of up to 768 x 480 x 4096 colors.  After editing,
  these super-bitmaps may be loaded back into Digi-View 4.0 and 
  displayed as Dynamic HiRes images.

* ARexx Support
  Digi-View 4.0 can be controlled externally by other programs 
  including ARexx, or CLI batch files.

* RGB Printing
  Digi-View 4.0 now directly prints 12 bit processed RGB data.

* 24 Bit Color Support
  24 bit IFF RGB files may be loaded and saved for further image
  processing and exporting to typesetters or frame buffers.

* Toll Free Tech Support
  Extended-hours technical support.  8 am - 7 pm central time.

- these plus dozens of other new features are in the new version of
  the best-selling video digitizer of all time.

SPECIAL NOTES:

   NewTek fully supports the multi-tasking philosophy of the Amiga but
   Dynamic displays take almost all of the Amiga's considerable power to
   maintain an image. Therefore Dyna-Show will safely turn off 
   multi-tasking while displaying pictures.  Multi-tasking will resume
   upon exiting Dyna-Show.

   While displaying, Dyna-Show checks the floppy disk drives to make sure
   that if disks are removed while multi-tasking is turned off AmigaDOS
   will be notified.  This may result in a flicker of the drive lights.

COMING SOON:

   See your local Amiga dealer for NewTek's DEMO REEL 3
   featuring the Dynamic HiRes image "The Face" and the return of 
   Laura "Maxine Headroom" Longfellow.

TECHNICAL NOTES:

   NewTek encourages all developers to support Dynamic display technology
   and will be releasing technical information on Dynamic modes.

   Dynamic HAM images are HAM images that use a different 16 color base
   palette on each scan line.  This eliminates most if not all of the HAM
   "fringing" common to ordinary HAM displays and provides a sharper picture.
   Dynamic HAM images may be interlace and overscan if desired.

   Dynamic HiRes images are 4 bit plane deep, high resolution screens with
   a different 16 color palette on each scan line.  This allows all 4096
   colors to be used at once on a high resolution screen.  Dynamic HiRes 
   uses dithering to minimize palette limitations and provide the sharpest
   images possible with a standard Amiga.
   
   While low resolution Dynamic modes can be rendered on a 512K Amiga,
   Digi-View 4.0 can require up to 2 megabytes to create HiRes overscan,
   interlace images.  All images may be viewed on a standard 512K Amiga.   
   Exporting images interactively to Digi-Paint 3 requires 1 megabyte but
   can require up to 3 megabytes for 768 x 480 x 4096 color super-bitmaps.

   Since Dynamic modes must calculate a new palette for each scan line
   they take time to render.  Low resolution Dynamic HAM takes about
   2.5 minutes on a 512K Amiga.  Overscan, interlace or HiRes will take
   proportionately longer to calculate.  A 68020 or 68030 will drastically
   decrease the calculation time.  You may adjust all the Digi-View
   image processing controls using normal displays then use Dynamic
   modes to render the final image.
