(Still 3 passes, a switch on the box for Digiview owners.) It was made for Perfect Vision, seems to work for Digiview, although the docs mention that it may not get along with some VCRs. (I like it... We're using it with Digiview and a NEC VCR with digital freeze.) One thing I'd like - a hack to make the color splitter think it's a Digi-Droid, controllable through Digiview's software. (Through a DB9 on the back of the color splitter box, the Perfect Vision digitizer is tied in; the software can then control the RGB passes automatically.) Since the Digi-Droid does the same sort of control (um, maybe?) to a camera's color wheel, could it be made to interface with the color splitter's controls? [This technical discombobulation on only one cup of coffee; sorry. ;^)] Disclaimer - I own Digiview and the color splitter - otherwise unconnected.
