Hi,
here comes the technical info about the new moviegrabber(tm)
PC-Hurricane(tm).
===========================================================================
This description was still written for our old DOS Software, that still
comes with the PC-Hurricane, for those who don't like to use Win3.1....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a hicolor color YUV (4:1:1) realtime video movie digitizer which
can store 25 frames/sec(PAL) or 30 frames/sec (NTSC) into Expanded Memory.
It has support for ET4000 Hicolor and true color boards and all VESA1.2
compatible SVGA cards.
The software is a userfriendly DOS (or win3.1) software, which displays the
incoming video signal in almost realtime (about 5-10 frames/sec) on a
Hicolor board in 32768 colors/pixel or on a 256 color board.
This is okay for video purposes, cause the noise inside a video movie
almost does already the dithering to a true color quality.(simualar to
24 bit quality)
If you don't have a Hicolor card inside your PC, then there is also a
256 color version driver, which displays the video signal in almost
realtime in 3-3-2 color quantisation. (still the TGA pics are saved as
16 bit Hicolor/pixel, so quality from the saved output is the same as
in the Hicolor software driver)
If the sequence arrives, which you wanna digitize, just hit the space
key.
Then it is digitized into the Expanded Memory in realtime with 25 or
30 frames/sec maximum rate. This can be adjusted to 12.5 or 8 or 4
frames/sec !
During this storing process, you will not see any signal on your VGA
monitor, but if the RAM is filled with e.g.396 frames at 320x240, then
you can already watch the digitized movie play of the Expanded Memory!
It plays in slow motion the YUV coded fields to the SVGA card via the
ISA bus. This gives a slow motion Hicolor digital movie out of
the RAM !
So if you have 32 MBytes of Ram on your motherboard, you can be happy.
Then you can store about 16 seconds of realtime MPEG resolution
320x240 true color video with one shot ! Or doubble this, if you just
only take 12.5 frames/sec...
With the enclosed software you can save this with one command to
single TGA pics onto the harddisk or save it as a complete Hicolor
movie (uncompressed, big file size).
PC-Hurricane also digitizes the resolutions:
384x288, 360x240, 320x240 and 320x200. So max. resolution is 1 PAL
field (384x288).
Field digitisation is preferred, cause it gives no Interlace
artifacts, due to motion...
So if you want to make a FLI file out of the 16 seconds sequence, no
problem, just start DTA18g (Dave's Targa Animator) and it produces a
FLI animation file out of the single TGA pics..
DTA comes with it. This way you can also very easy produce AVI movies
for Video for Windows. Just load the FLI file into the Video Editor
of Video for Windows and compress it into a *.AVI file..
Also, if you have the Xing Technology software only MPEG encoder,
it will be possible to compress this about 400 single
TARGA(tm) pics with just one second command to a MPEG movie !
So you have in about 5 minutes of work a ready to display MPEG movie !
PC-Hurricane has NTSC/PAL switchable. So it can also digitize NTSC
video. It has Video(FBAS) and Y/C(SVHS/Hi8) inputs.

Hi,
well, MPEG 2.1 for windows3.x is now available !
It is the digital Video player via a software only solution !
It displays in a 320x240 window (or 160x120)under win3.x a realtime decompressed
digital video !
Decompression is done only by software and it reaches
30 frames/sec on a 486 PC !
The new version has a very enhanced picture quality, because the
compression ratio with the encoder can now be adjusted !
The very new thing is the WAV-Sound and MPEG-Audio support !
So if you have a soundcard inside your PC, you will have a real
video-clip with accompagning sound !
We currently have 3 demo disks with the full featured Player, version
2.1 and lots of animations on the disks.
We ship it to you with airmail.
Then the price is 40 US$ inclusive shipping and handling and airmail
delivery. You have to send a cheque then first with your order to:

Subject: Re: Saving presentations to video tape
===============================================
Hi,
for recording SVGA animations or VGA (also 24 bit support)
presentations we currently have
the following products over here in Germany:
We currently have three solutions for you:
1. 24 bit to TV converter box which is a box connected outside of the PC to
the SVGA card via its VGA connector. There must be a TSR program run
in the background to change automatically the scanning frequencies of
the SVGA board. This works also very well with win3.1
It supports up to 800x600x 65K colors (only PAL) and 640x480 with 24 bits
color (true color) on the Genoa 7900 ET4000 SVGA board.
It has Video (FBAS) and Y/C (SVHS/HI8)
outputs.
There is also a version of this box with additional RGB output, so you
get the best picture quality on a TV-set with SCART - RGB-inputs..
The VGA Monitor is also connected to the 24 Bit to TV converter box,
so if you don't start the driver software, your system is like normal:
You see the picture on your SVGA monitor.
The DC-power comes from the keyboard connector, so you don't have to
fiddle around with AC-DC-aptor power supplies !
Just don't start the driver software, if you don't need video out !
The box doesn't interfere with your daily work. Just forget it behind
you PC.
If you need video out, just start the 2 KBytes driver software and
then you can toggle between video out and VGA monitor display with a
hot key !
The driver software is adapted to SVGA FLIC-files from Autodesk
Animator PRO to give a 640x288 x256 colors Fullscreen-Overscan display
on PAL TV-sets. This works by using double scanning with 50 Hz
Non-Interlace !
Every scanline from the 288 is scanned twice, so it gives 640x576
Fullscreen display ! (with no flicker)
This way you can record your favourite SVGA animations to tape without
seeing any black borders !
There is also a NTSC version available, which works only up to 640x480
with 16, 256 ,32K , 65 K and 24 bits colors !
On NTSC model the 640x480 mode is already Fullscreen !
It also works with the new Hicolor FLI player, so you can play and
record hicolor animation directly from a RAMdisk to VCR tape..
You don't need NO single frame accurate expensive VCR anymore !
Cause it works also with win3.1, you can record all your daily windows
application work to video tape !
If you have a presentation program like Microsoft Powerpoint, no
problem ! Just record your presentation to video tape to show it via
video cassette to everyone, who has a VCR !
In windows the 24 bit to TV-box works in 50 or 60 Hz Interlace to
display the 640x480 or 800x600 (only PAL) scanlines.
This gives a little flicker on Menu-buttons, which have only very
small horizontal lines with big contrast in color. So use an
appropriate color palette under windows to reduce flicker..
With the Y/C output (SVHS/Hi8) you almost get SVGA monitor quality on your
video tape !
2. VGA2TV PRO adaptor. This is an internal board which is hooked inside
the PC to the feature connector of the VGA card. So the VGA or SVGA
board must have a feature connector !
The VGA2TV PRO samples the contens of the VGA RAM into its own dual ported
RAM and gives it out with the Video scanning frequencies to its Video
(FBAS) or Y/C output.
It also has a Genlock possibility. So it can be used to do titling in
front of a holiday movie video tape running in the background of the
computer graphics titles !
Input of the external video source could also be FBAS or Y/C.
VGA2TV PRO comes with integrated Flicker fixer.
It has the flicker filter for making the
Interlace flicker much less visible. It also has OverScan/Underscan
feature and the position of the screen on the TV set could be
controlled via software.
Max. resolutions to convert VGA to TV with this VGA2TV PRO board is
640x480 with 256 colors ! It has the advantage, that it does not need
any software ! Just plug and it plays !
Does not work with Cirrus Logic VESA Local Bus graphics cards !
3. GL 800 Genlock Interface PC-Card.
====================================
This is our brand new own development.
It works like the VGA2TV Pro card, but it has also 800x600x256 support
and also can Overlay, MIX and Fade-In and Fade-Out the VGA graphic over the
background video input.
It does not have a flicker fixer, but works very stable.
It has RGB, FBAS and Y/C outputs and Y/C and FBAS inputs.
We recommend this board for fullscreen PAL output from 800x600 SVGA screens.
This board is only 799.-DM incl. 15 % VAT.
This board also works with VESA Local Bus cards !
Please let me know, what you need.
Best regards Stefan Hartmann.
