       Hello there,

       How well does Digital Creations DCTV work with the A3000?

       Has anyone experienced any problems with this set-up?

       Thanks

Our Local dealer has dctv set up on an Amiga 3000.  It works fine.

  It does work with the a3000. There was one at the Amiga show in NYC
just last Saturday. When I saw the two monitors, each displayed a different
picture so I incorrectly thought that the amiga could output two different
video signals. What actually happened wqas that the monitor has a hardware
switch to show video or just blackness where the video would be (but still
allow you to see the a3000 screen). It looked pretty good.

        Well, back here in New Jersey, at our monthly Amiga Video Sig 
meeting (a division of JAUG, an Active/ASDG co-operative... :) we had a DCTV 
plugged into my A3000/25, Princeton Graphics' Ultrasync and my Sony 27" 
monitor. Beautiful results - we ran the rotating Mt. St. Helens demo (very 
clean, and if it had more than 12 frames it would have been smoother) and 
did some painting and digitizing.  It's a bit faster with the A3000 than 
it's usual host, a 2000 (a bit? HAH!) and it really cranked when we had to 
do a bit of converting from DCTV format to IFF24. A very nice device - when 
I get enough $$$ to invest, I'm probably heading that way.  BTW, we ran it 
with my digitizing pad in place and saw no problems at all - in fact it was 
very, VERY intuitive. I think you'll enjoy it immensely!
