- In this week's InfoWorld (11/2/92), p. 32, there's a small article about
- WatchIt. According to IW, this thingie is going to cost around $300,
- lets you position and size a television window while working in another
- window "without any performance degredation" (yeah, right). It is
- equipped with it's own tuner, and allows video from several sources,
- and can connect to an antenna, cable, vcr, or video camera. It also
- functions as a video capture board, allowing user to freeze a frame and save
- it to disk (doesn't say what file format).
-
- Product requires an ISA system with either 8- or 16-bit slot, vga (640x480)
- display (doesn't say if more is supported), and Windows 3.0 or later.
