Hi, Which offers higher resolution and the best results when grabbing an image of printed material for use in DTV? a copy stand and video camera feeding into the Toaster a flat bed color scanner working into ADPRO I have been doing the former (without a copy stand – the ole thumb tack into the wall trick), and am now considering buying one of the 600 dpi flatbed scanners supported by ADPRO (HP Scanjet IIc, Epson 600 or 800C). I'm accustomed to hearing scanner resolution expressed in dpi . . . what is comparable resolution for a live video camera framegrab of a still image into the Toaster? Can that be expressed in dpi? Probably depends on the number of pixels in the camcorder's CCD, doesn't it? How about relative hue/saturation, etc. between the two methods? Thanks, John
