Title: ProGrab 24RT: realtime 24bit digitizer for A1200...
Post by: Jose on March 24, 2004, 03:33:27 AM

While fiddling around with some amiga hardware pages I stumbled across a digitizer by Elsat that is actually known by various names: FG24+, the ProGrab 24RT and the Graiffito.
The thing is listed on Amiga-hardware.com.

Wow:) So the A1200 could also do that...

Has anyone used one? I was curious about the quality of the image. The A1200 PCMCIA port can achieve 3MB/s with an expanded A1200, at least that's what they advertised, so this could have a decent image quality. Probably it was only average quality, targetted at the low budget buyers, but I'd love to hear from people that used one..

Found a review here (http://www.aurora1.demon.co.uk/gadgets/prograb.html)

I've been away of amigas during most of the 90's so that's why   I still hadn't see it... :-D

I used the ProGrab24RT once.  About 5 years ago now I think.

A white box that plugged into the parallel port and could continually grab frames roughly every 2 seconds until you've no memory left :-)

I can't remember what the highest grab possible was, but we made an animation about 320x256 in an afternoon.

It was fun stuff :-)
