I'm trying to put together a low cost image processing system
and am looking at the Amiga, Mac, and IBM PC. I need a color
frame grabber with the following specs:
1. Can input RGB and NTSC video (a jack for each)
2. Can output the same
3. At least 512 x 512 x 9 (3 bits per primary) resolution
[The machine must support a display with this capability, of
course].
4. Does not need to be real time
I'm partial to MC68000 or 020 machines because I have designed
with those CPUs, but it appears that the IBM PC wins hands down
in terms of product offerings.
Any comments?
Ken

Any suggestions on good framegrabbers to get to connect to a A500? I have a old NewTek DigiView digitizer, but it seems a little slow for some of the kind of work I want to do. In particular it has some problems grabbing frames from my Sony SuperVHS deck. Also, do I need any special hardware (buffers, etc) to output a video signal from my A500 directly out to a VCR? is there any way to improve signal quality by using some sort of interface cable to connect to the seperated chroma, luma, etc signals for SuperVHS? It's times like these that I wish I had bought a A2000 and paid a little extra for the expansion slots... ADVthanksANCE Vic Sohal
