[] Has anyone been using DigiView with a color camera? The manual emphasizes that a B&W camera is better (higher resolution at a much lower price), but says that a color camera can also be used. What kind works, and what is the price? (A friend was wondering about the possibility of using the same camera with DigiView, Genlock, and a real-time digitizer (Live! (if it ever sees the light of day) or one of the other rumored ones...) Also, I've seen references to SLIP for Amiga... Is SLIP really available? From where? And is it PD? With SLIP how much hardware do you need to hook up an Amiga to a network (and get multiple telnet, ftp connections, etc)? Ali Ozer, ali@rocky.stanford.edu

Okay, by color camera I assume you mean a composite color camera, and not a mega-buck 3 tube kind. I have been using a real inexpensive Konica camera and VCR combo that I bought from DAK for about $600-$700 (I think it may even be cheaper by now.) Remember that you are digitizing each of the colors separatly thru the color filters and recombining the image. (You lose the composite color signal and must use the filters to make three "black and white" images which are recombined to get "color") I have had good luck with digitizing black and white images with my composite color camera. However when digitizing color, images with a lot of red come out orange-red. Of course, you can pop the image into your favorite paint program and colorize to your hearts content. (Ever see a blue Garfield?) 8-> I would recommend my set up for the casual experimenter, but I think for pro quality work you need to spend more bucks.
