#IP 5.0
John:
While the VD-1 is an output device too, I never (well hardly ever) use it
for that purpose. I use it strickly for digitizing images. I tried using
DigiView with the Xapshot, and it seemed to do a fairly good job, although
I could only digitize a B&W image, as I just sold my color splitter 🙂 In
general I find that the slow scan types of digitizers don't seem to do as
good a job as a frame grabing device like the VD-1, FrameGrabber,
Framebuffer, etc.
The only reason I mentioned the VD-1 as opposed to the others is that if a
person has a Firecracker, then they can use the VD-1 to better advantage
than somebody that doesn't have a Firecracker, and from what I understand
VD-1's are fairly cheap these days (I bought mine used for about $100.00).
