[comp.sys.next] NeXTtv: problems with single frames

gmk@ucsc.edu (Gottfried Mayer-Kress) (06/04/91)

I had many problems with my new ND already.
one of them is the following:
I want to do single frames from my Canon A1-Digital on NeXTtv.
If I hit "Still" on the camcorder, I get a sharp image on NeXTtv. If I 
single-step the next 3-4 frames are overlaid and distorted, then I get 
a clear image again, and that seems to repeat periodically. 
This effect does never ever occur on regular TV: each still is sharp and 
solid.
For selecting good frames for grabbing etc, NeXTtv at this point is pretty 
useless, I hope this problem can be fixed soon.

P.S.: We also try to figure out how to connect the ND to a 
LaserDisk/PC-VCR any hints about experiences with such devices would be 
appreciated.
