- Digitizes from PAL/NTSC
The device can grab in 16 colour greyscale in almost real time, and the supplied software can capture up to HAM8 (12bit). An absolutely still image is required for colour grabs because the red, green and blue components are captured independantly and then overlayed within the software. Faster processors, not only improve the speed of the capture but increase the tolerance of a bad quality video source. The device as a whole is still very intolerant to a poor video source.
Early models were supplied with a seperate transformer, however the later models drew the power they needed from the floppy drive port.. If you need to make a replacement power supply then draw on the +12v power as dark and fuzzy images are often the result of an inadequate power source.
