I am looking for a device that wil grab (digitize) a video image quickly with reasonable clairity (I've tried the ATVISTA card, and it just doesn't cut it) and generatets 15 to 24 bit color. I know that there must exist something that does this, but I don't know where to look. I don't really want a display board since I am trying to process the images for printing. Is there a cheap solution (less than the $3000 for a VISTA card) that captures video images to a image buffer than can be processed and displayed later? It would be nice if it worked with composite, or SVHS. Please mail responses to me since I don't read news all that often. Thanks, Max ========================================================================== Lekarz THE //\/\ //| \ / # Max Derhak (derhak@cs.utah.edu) :^> od \\ // \ //-| X # After all is said and done, a heck of Raju! \X/ \// | / \ o a lot more is said and done. - Murphy

I want NTSC composite or s-video in (out would be nice also) and resolution like 640 x 480 x 256 colors minimum. I'd like 800 x 600 x 256 colors. I would like the hardware to include some software to get the captured image into a standard file format such as PCX or GIF or TIFF or similar. The card should have the ability to connect to the 'feature connector' on my SVGA card. I would even be interested in a kit or schematics I could build and shareware software for it. Dean Lindsay
