well you can get DCTV for the Amiga. It will allow decent still pictures from a video camera (not from tape!, direct!) It requires an NTSC monitor to view em on, though you can convert them to 24-bit Iff's if you want. Comes with a decent paint program and lets you animate these pictures in almost real time. The drawback is that it's really not up to broadcast quality output, and has some fringing. ie Definetly not RGB quality!!!! it is cheap, $299. VLAB looks interesting, but I don't very much about it you can get an converter for DCTV that converts it back to RGB but it's about the same price as the main unit… hope this helps. -Tom-
