Help! I have a digiview system running on an Amiga 2000. I am using the gender changer and the Panasonic WV1410 camera. My digiview software is version 2.0. I have been able to capture beautiful pictures in the 320X200, 320X400, and 640X400B&W mode. I have 3 megs of ram, and I am still having difficulty with the 640X200 and 640X400 modes! The images appear distorted….horizontal lines especially…..digitizing on a screwdriver shows up as a sine wave shaped screwdriver. Letters digitize into wavy characters. However, I get beautiful image in all other resolutions. The camera was checked , and is up to spec, and gives beautiful images in {_the NON-hires color modes, a and even in the hires black and white mode. What am I doing wrong? Does this problem sound familiar? Has anyone else experienced this? How well does Digiview 3.0 work in hires color? Thanks in advance for your help! Mark Tosiello

Mark, that problem doesn't sound familiar to me. Are you using the NewTek Digi-View adaptor? Or just a plain gender changer? There is a difference between the two! If you are using the Newtek adaptor, you may want to contact NewTek directly. GreG

Hi Mark, I had the same problem my self. The trouble is that digi-view does not like the second 512 K of memory on the B2000 that is only semi fast memory. Just use the program SlomMemLast that's in your workbench system drawr, before loading Digi-view. Or just put it on your program disk and alter your startup-sequence to enclude it. This should clear up your pics. Dirk A. Jones Hi Mark, I hade the same problem my self.

Slowmemlast will help your problem, but there is a definite incompatibility problem between Digi-View and the A2000. The problem has to do with the voltage coming out of the parallel port. Call and complain to NewTek, 'cause they're definitely ignoring the problem. A unit called the Transvestor 2500 is a gender changer with an external power supply that takes care of the problem. Good luck. Please post a note describing Newtek's reaction.
