I can't specify how the splitting works in technical terms, but I can say I've been real happy with the digiview-splitter combo. I generally plug in a VCR with digital freeze frame (the Sunrize folks say that not all VCRs are guaranteed to work, but ours does) and split the signal coming into the digiview via the color splitter. The colors look as good as they do with digiview's wheel filters. I'd expect that the biggest variability for most folks is "how frozen is that frame" rather than "how's the color signal" since you can certainly tweak the colors to your satisfaction with digiview once you've digitized the image. Like I said, I don't do any pro/tech stuff, so I'm just saying I like how it looks. We've got VHS but not S-VHS; that requires a minor hardware mod on the color splitter, as I recall. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=- Robin LaPasha |Deep-Six your ruslan@ecsvax.uncecs.edu |files with VI! ;^) ;^) ;^)
