Hi All:
The Sony XV-D300 Digital Special Effects Generator seems to be a video
framebuffer. It is available for under $300 and looks like it would work
well with something like DCTV for slow scan digitizing. Has anyone
attempted this to see if it would work for recording images off a VCR
(unlikely to work with DCTV absent a TBC or a digital still frame).
Would anyone know if this would work?

Bill,
I do not know anything about the Sony XV-D300, but another alternative
Is the Hitachi VY-15A now being dumped bt Sears for $499 (list $999). It is
a color video printer with a frame (actually field) buffer. It has composit
video IO so it works great with DCTV. Both to grab images for slow scan
digitising and as an output device for DCTV. If you are interested you had
better check with your local Sears soon because when they are all gone
that's it!
