[comp.sys.amiga] New FrameGrabber?

nschultz@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Ned W. Schultz) (06/02/89)

Is there anyone out there who is familiar with the new FrameGrabber from
Progressive Peripherals, the model that will do 256 gray scale?  Is this
a replacement for the original in the sense that it does all the same
things with additional features, or is it a separate model that does
not do all that the earlier one does?  I'd appreciate any information on
specs, capabilities, availability, price and subjective impressions
from anyone who's seen or used one.  Anyone seen any sample pictures
floating around?  Thanks...

It's a separate model intended, it seems, for the medical image processing
market, among others.  I want to think that it didn't digitize in "real-time"
like its older brother did but I'm not sure.

I haven't seen anything and Prog Perip's said it wouldn't be out for a while.
Why not just called them up about it?  I did and the person who answered
told me all about it -- the details of which I forget but it being a separate
model (no upgrade wither) and ONLY black and white was what told me to "forget
it".

BTW, I was also told that there would be a brand new release of the FG-1
software RSN (I was told end of May).   I haven't checked with them yet.
