	Datacube is going to produce a video digitizer that has a 12-bit ADC
and should be good to at least 11-bits. But what video source do you have that
is better than 8-bit ? There are some cameras that are good to about 10-bits
but they are rare. In any case the whole setup will be expensive. The Datacube
rig sits on a VME and you must use an AT-bus to VME converter. Total cost will
exceed $10K.
