heh, kinda cool to see someone get excited about outdated imaging software. DigiView and DigiPaint were top notch when released. Did take a lot of work to get a decent image with it's slow scan color wheel method. When DCTV was relesed, it sent DigiView/Paint into the closet. DCTV paint program was awesome comapred to earlier imaging apps. Then I obtained an OpalVision card and a internal V-Lab frame grabber. Tossed the DCTV into the closet next to the Digistuff. Used OpalPaint extensively. Was hoping that the rest of the OpalVision package was to be released. Too bad Centar Development folded. Eventually got into the entier VideoToaster/Flyer setup. Funny how I made full circle with NewTek products.

I actually have one of the Opalvision Video Editing sets. Unfortunately it causes the Amiga not to boot.

Awesome! Not many of the OpalVision Editing Suites made it out to market. Would like to see one in action.

I ended up getting a Mimietics Framebuffer since it could display as well as grab in full NTSC images output from VistaPro, Imagine, and even with ArtPro you could send anything to it.

I have one of those Mimtecs FrameBuffers. Damn thing ran so hot I had to put heatsinks and a fan on the ram chips to keep the A2000 from failing. Needed a seperate display monitor if I recall.

Then a DMI Resolver board that has a paint program that actually runs on the board and was very fast, not tied into the Amiga for its speed.

Friend of mine back in the day had a DMI Resolver. That was an awesome display card also. Way before RTG. Tricky to set up. Made World Construction set real nice to work with.


ahhh, the memories...
