The error message you report is merely letting you know that you do not have
a video camera or other signal source connected to your DigiView interface.
You can have DigiView connected properly to your Amiga, but you'll still
receive the aforementioned error message if you invoke DigiView without
a video signal source connected to the interface.

The current version of DigiView is 2.0.
