Digi-View can capture images from video when using a color splitter & a VCR
with a flying erase head or digital freeze-frame capability. Digi-View
works in resolutions from 320X200 up to 768X480. Digi-View can also
digitize images in hi-res with up to 4096 colors, depending on the nature
of the subject matter.
Digi-View is also a high quality image processor. It also has the
capability of linking together with Digi-Paint 3 if you have 2 megs of ram.
Both Digi packages also have ARexx ports to allow you to write
sophisticated ARexx programs to automate the digitizing process. Images
then exported into an animation program will be assured of being top-notch
quality, so the slow-scanning is worth it.
The nice thing about the two programs linking up, is that, as soon as you
digitize the picture, it goes into the paint program for immediate
retouching.
Digi-View also saves in two larger file formats to allow export to hardware
capable of displaying over 16 million colors in high resolution.
There are many options and many more details to be mentioned on this
subject, so hang around, and pick up as much pertinent data as you can on
it.
