Perry – The 24bit mode in the VD1 and Turbo Silver 3.0 refers to the 16. whatever colors displayable from a RAW RGB file. Using the VD1 you can capture a RAW Image and send it back out the VD1 NTSC only. Our engineer who designed it claims that NTSC however can only display reasonably about 2.5 million colors. Using turbo Silver 3.0, we can generate a 24bit file, and then dump it out to NTSC via the vd1 in frame buffer mode, and you get very clean de-pixelized images dithering isn't a problems as the color palette is so large that shading is beautiful. This is the optimum way to go if you want to dump to tape or film on a frame by frame basis. The only problem is that the 24 bit files can get very large. I have generated some that are in excess of 1MB each. I would assume that the output of your scanner could also be run through the VD1 for maximum resolution and colors. We would be more than happy to provide you with any file formats or information you might need. Just give us a call.
