Hello everyone,

I'd like to ask the net a few questions on hardware that displays video
on your computer screen. Especially, what exactly does the 'screen machine'
do? What's the difference between the regular screen machine and 'screen
machine light' that's being advertised?

Am I right that the screen machine digitises a video signal and displays it
on VGA in real time under Windows using a software that comes with it, and
that the s.m. light can only handle still frames for saving them in a file?

I'm also interested on a device that outputs VGA to video. I heard a thing
called 'video enhancer' does that?

And does anyone know what the so called 'video blaster' is?

I'd prefer infos on the PAL world, but other experience is also appreciated,
since I assume most of that hardware is available for both systems.


Thank you in advance,

wolfi
