This is a question I've always wanted to ask. I want to digitize some pics, and I am considering one of two ways. Either a framegrabber/buffer/etc, or a Color splitter/Digiview combo. Has anybody used a colorsplitter/Digiview combo. I have a laserdisc *AND* a time-base-corrector/frame-sync which will do freeze. Have you gotten better res out of such a combo (splitter/Digiview) (I would assume so, but assuming makes an....you get the picture). I am more worried about the color rendition. I can control the color (called "subcarrier" for video techies) from my TBC, but how accurately does a color-splitter filter the RGB components. Personally, I'd like to use a CBS Labs RGB Proc-Amp, but they're expensive, and the last one I saw was about 8 years ago. >Rick Forrest Rick, do you still have it for sale??? Let me know.

I can't specify how the splitting works in technical terms, but I can say I've been real happy with the digiview-splitter combo. I generally plug in a VCR with digital freeze frame (the Sunrize folks say that not all VCRs are guaranteed to work, but ours does) and split the signal coming into the digiview via the color splitter. The colors look as good as they do with digiview's wheel filters. I'd expect that the biggest variability for most folks is "how frozen is that frame" rather than "how's the color signal" since you can certainly tweak the colors to your satisfaction with digiview once you've digitized the image. Like I said, I don't do any pro/tech stuff, so I'm just saying I like how it looks. We've got VHS but not S-VHS; that requires a minor hardware mod on the color splitter, as I recall. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Robin LaPasha |Deep-Six your ruslan@ecsvax.uncecs.edu |files with VI! ;^) ;^) ;^)

I have used Digi-view to digitize the output of an NTSC decoder, one colour at a time. The decoder is an Electrohome (ECP 1000, if I remember correctly). This item, which may or may not be discontinued, is a high quality decoder, with a comb filter. It cost us about $1k (Canadian). The results are far superior to those obtained from Digiview's colour filter wheel. The source video came from a videodisc. I did not need a TBC. -- Se non e` vero, e` ben trovato ...{utzoo|mnetor}!dciem!dretor!king king@dretor.dciem.dnd.ca

Thanks to all who inquired - the splitter is sold.

Hi. I've got a Digi-View digitizer and access to two very high resolution color video cameras. The problem is when I use the filter wheel with them, I get a very noisy dirty signal. I suspect that this is do to the auto-correction circuitry (sp?) in the camera it's self. My questions are these... How can one obtain the higest quality images using a color camera and the filter wheel? And more importantly... How good is the SunRize Industries Color Splitter. Anybody got one that would be willing to give me a revue? I've heard good things about it, but I'd like to hear from an owner... Also could someone tell me what issue of either AmigaWorld or Amazing Computing it's been reviewed in? (if any...) Please mail your responses as I don't get a chance to read this group all that often. I'll post a summary if there seems to be sufficient intrest... Thanks for your time...
