| 649.1 | new ANIM IFF format | LEDS::ACCIARDI | | Mon Aug 17 1987 14:24 | 9 |
| Another interesting development...
Aegis has registered a new IFF format called ANIM that has the
interesting property of only storing parts of a frame that differ
from the preceding frame. Not owning VScape-3D, I don't know if
it uses this new storage method.
Sounds like a slick way to store a ton of frames in RAM for animation.

How does Digiview v2 do with color images from a home video camera?
re:.1
I have Videoscape 3d. Since you can load iff format files as a
background image in a videoscape scene, I don't see why you couldn't
load a bunch of successive Digiview images and record them into
an ANIM file.
I may try this as I have ordered Digiview v2 and it should be in
today. When I do, I'll let you know how it turns out.

| Re .1:
A format which stores the frame differences only might also reduce the
size of the disk file. :^)

It does color frames with a color home video camera the same way
as it does with a B&W, 'cept it takes a few seconds longer. They actually
scan each pixel 4 times (I believe). You use the same color wheel.
The pictures are not nearly as sharp as those received with the
B&W camera.
The V2 software actually allows you to take 5 sec frames with a
B&W camera for a totla of 15 sec per color picture (pretty fast).

| 649.5 | Do you NEED a camera or only a VCR? | NOVA::RAVAN | | Mon Aug 24 1987 14:51 | 4 |
| I'm confused. Can you take a picture directly from a VCR or
do you need a video camera?

| You can take a picture from a VCR providing you have a jitter free
still frame on your VCR. However, this method doesn't produce optimum
results.

| And its only in B&W. Digi-Tek does have some new software coming
out that will allow capture of a high quality VCR image in color.

| Yep .. using Perfect Vision with the Color Splitter, or DigiView
with the Color Splitter. There are also some other more expensive
ways using Framegrabbers.

See note 2036. I had uploaded a FrameGrabbed picture of a CNN news
anchor to NORSE""::AMIGA:[GRAPHICS] called FGPIC.arc, but I can't
seem to find it there. Anyone have it lying around?
Also see MTWAIN::USER:[MCDONALD.IFF] for a picture of Deanna Trio
