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.
