VIDI digitizer

Revision as of 08:57, 5 May 2010 by Nocash (Talk | contribs) (→‎Download)

A video digitizer for the Amstrad CPC from Rombo Productions.

Scanning Modes

The software supports 3 modes (at hardware side, there are only 2 modes):

  • Mode 2 - 640x200x1 - true hardware mode
  • Mode 1 - 320x200x4 - true hardware mode
  • Mode 0 - 160x200x16 - special mode: the software performs sixteen Mode 2 scans (with different brightness settings in each pass), and combines them to a 16-color image. Obviously, this method works only with still images (camcorder aimed at still image, or VCR with "freeze picture" mode). Moreover, the CPC with CTM640/CTM644 colour monitor can't display 16 grayscales so the picture will look like crap, however, it will look pretty much perfect on a GT64/GT65 green monitor.

Download

Software was available on cassette, disc, and (as an upgrade option) on ROM. The latter one requires an external ROM BOX to be of any use (the Vidi board doesn't include a ROM socket).
