You're right, you know. The truth is that the project of which I speak would serve to convert RGB to Color Composite NTSC Compatible in true homebrew (OK) quality. It would be useful to make scratchpad and low-grade video copy, kind of like shooting a movie on video before film to give it a dry run. Also, as I read in Amigaworld and in Amazing Computing, there's a video post-prod facility in Florida that is Amiga based and will be available to the indepedndent producer to do his production on $20000 worth of equipment. If the video world is going to go the way of available top-of-the-line equipment ready to rent, then there is thusly created a market for draft equipment that costs little, but will allow the producer to work through a draft of his post-prod before getting into the shop where time is LOTS of money. I am trying to include some Amiga-genlock capabilities in Honolulu Public Cable, and of course that would put something like that here in Hawaii. There are also numerous film and video post-prod studios operating here, idling between Magnum PI and "Fists of Steel" and the upcoming "Jake and the Fat Man", which is supposedly going to move here soon. Anyway, I shall start the design and post a log of the theory in the hardware library, given the grace of posting sys-ops, and hopefully due some good in the providing of nitty-gritty video technical information. (I have all of the EIA RS-specs [i.e. RS-170A, RS-232C, RS-343A] in my office.) QUESTION: Is there a device that one can digitally capture a frame image from a camera in the field (meaning away from one's Amiga) with. I have looked At the Panasonic and Sony Video Floppy Systems, which are great, but exp ensive. Are we relying on the dubious quality of video tape capture to take our images home to Ami?
