Sergio, > …all is working fine. Did you get DigiView to work WITH your modem connected to the serial port? If it still doesn't work, then you may have treated the symptom rather than fixed the problem… I don't know how the Color Splitter is made; someone else may already have answered that question. I do have a Color Splitter between my laserdisc player (Pioneer CLD-3030 — which does an excellent "freeze frame") and the Radio Shack 1-by-3 Baseband Amplifier that NewTek USED to recommend to split the signal (without (much) loss of signal strength) between the DigiView unit and my A1080 monitor. It works pretty well. Wayde

Well, while I digitize I never use my modem, so there is no problem disconnecting it (I'd say I found a way to avoid the problem, not to solve it ehehehe…). Thanks for your help. Bye<<Sergio>>

Is there contention between the Digi-View and the serial port? I've never attmpted to use my modem while digitizing, but would be interested to know if there was a problem.

The problem is that *I can't digitize* with the modem connected to the serial port (it doesn't matter if it's turned OFF)! As soon as I disconnect the modem Digiview detects the video signal… Incredible don't you think??!? Bye<<Sergio>>

Yes it is incredible. I have a modem hooked up to my serial also, plus my digi-view is hooked up to an A/B switch so that I can switch to my printer or digi-view unit without unplugging stuff. Mine works fine, though I have the older Digi-View w/ a gneder changer.

Pin 22 (Ring Indicator) of the serial port can effect the SEL (pin 13) line of the parallel port in the Amigas. Disconnect pin 22 from the cable going to your (Supra?) modem and all should be well.
