I'm trying to gather information about still video cameras such as the Canon RC-250 (xap shot) and the Canon RC-470 which store images on a 2 inch floppy. The xap shot brochure refers to a "High-Band format agreed upon by the Electronic Still Camera Standardization Committee". Does anyone have information about this format? If so, please post it. Is anyone aware of devices for reading images from these disks into a system via RS232/SCSI/whatever? Thanks in advance for any info.

We have a Canon still video set-up. The 2 inch floppy stores an *analog* color video signal. The floppy can store 50 fields or 25 full frames. We use the playback unit to generate TV signals which we digitize with a frame grabber. Supposedly the floppy format is standard among several Japanese companies such as Canon and Sony.
