- I hate to interfere, but I thought I`d just mention this:
-
- ProGrab 24RT Plus is a 24bit Parallel/PCMCIA (!) realtime digitizer for
- the Amiga. RRP in the UK is 129,95 - it grabs directly from your VCR
- (also S-VHS), TV, Satellite Tuner, Camera (no expensive TBC output needed),
- grabs various resolutions (memory permitting), grabs various colour depths
- up to 24bit, 16.8 million colours (why do you NA people keep spelling that
- way???), plugs into your standard parallel port or optionally through the
- PCMCIA interface which speeds up the grabbing (especially video-sequences)
- up to 5 times than through the parallel port!
-
- That should answer that. But there`s more...
-
- The software is all ready & running and comes with the hardware (obviously).
- It`s in its 2.5.x version and supports saving/loading of many different
- graphic file formats (IFF,IFF24,JPPEG,BMP,PCX & TARGA), it saves whole
- animations as ANIM5 files and animations with sound (! - requires a sound
- sampler) are saved as ANIM5 + 8SVX files. There`s direct support for ProGrab
- in the Photogenics software as well, which let`s you grab images directly
- from Photogenics.
-
- Add to that, support for Virtual Memory, Teletext facilities, large preview
- window and support for composite PAL, SECAM and NTSC formats...
-
- And in practice... it delivers great quality images with the minimum of
- effort!
