- Please name those digitzers. Can they do what snappy does:
- Grabs directly from VCR, TV, or Camera (no expensive TBC output needed).
- Grabs various resolutions up to 1500x1500.
- Grabs various color depths up to true 24-bit, 16.8 million colors.
- Plugs directly into standard parallel ports.
- Cost (includes hardware and IBM software) $180.
