Hi. I'm looking for a card for the Mac II which would allow one to take TV images and capture it as a 8-bit color (nb: not greyscale) picture? Of course, it should be possible to store the captured image in a "standard" color picture format (say PIC2). Ideally this card should also be able to handle higher resolutions higher than standard TV broadcasts [laserdisk, S-VHS, etc]. It would also be nice it it could expand/shrink/crop the original image to fit various resolutions. For example, broadcast TV is something like 330x525 but I might want my captured image to be a 640x480 image. Does anything like this exist? Is it affordable?

Excerpted from Video Review, August 1988, P. 58 "...the board lets you capture a full 1/30-of-a-second frame and then edit, crop or otherwise process the image. The board captures the frame in a 640 X 480 pixel array, wherein you can add text or graphics, change colors, combine new images, zoom/pan/scroll images and print hard copies of your work. The board can interface with a composite video monitor, an RS-170 RGB-capable monitor or the Mac II's own screen, and it includes a genlock output.
