- I use a box called Video/Scan made by Folson Research that works on HP
- 700 systems. I presume that it works on X-Terminals as well. It gives
- very good picture quality, however, there is a down side to using this
- as opposed to a video camera. With a camera, you can focus in on specific
- areas of the screen. With a Video/Scan box, you cannot. Thus, even though
- the quality is better on the Video/Scan, I can often get cleaner detail of
- small objects with a video camera.
-
- An alternative is to buy a professional quality video camera with frame
- rate adjusment, so you can synch up to any screen's refresh rate.
