We make a unit called the VD-1, It does indeed capture/freeze frame either a
single field or a frame (both fields), and transfer it to the Amiga in HAM
mode. We feel (obviously) that our unit yields the highest quality image you
can get. Of course at $1000, it is also the costliest. As our unit is also a
24bit NTSC frame buffer it can offer many other possibilities. We do have
several images in the Amiga Vendor section area #4 which were grabbed from
running tape. The files you might want to get are called : "Orange", Trumppet,
and WFall. These were grabbed from a Sony ED Beta tape on the fly (HONEST!)
The extremely high quality of the images is due in part to the 500 line
resolution of the EDV-9500 Beta Deck we use. We also include a full featured
paint/edit program called Diamond. THis will allow you to manipulate and edit
the images as you want.

Stan Kalisher (Impulse) We are currently about 3-4
weeks in backorder for the units. We were also informed last week, that both
the unit and a Physician who is using it for som specialized work will be
featured on an episode of 20/20 on Jan 16th. Some of the images are also going
to be used on the Jumbo-Tron at Joe Robbie (?) stadium at the Super Bowl. The
Graphics artist is also using our rendering/animation product Turbo Silver 3.0
for some animation displays at the Super Bowl.
