                            Press Release
                            March 16, 1990

                Digital Creations is proud to announce

                                D C T V

What is DCTV (tm)?

DCTV (Digital Composite Television) is a revolutionary new display and
digitizing system for the Amiga Computer.  DCTV includes powerful image
processing software for digitizing video images and converting IFF images
into DCTV graphics for display.  It plugs into both the RGB video and the
parallel ports of any Amiga.  A pass-thru for the RGB monitor is provided.
NTSC video input and output jacks complete the connections.

What does DCTV (tm) do?

DCTV uses normal high resolution display modes on the Amiga, however, it
interprets the Amiga video signal in a radically new way.  By using a
revolutionary and very sophisticated video compression system, DCTV takes
the digital video signal that comes from the Amiga RGB port and converts it
into full color composite video with all the vibrant color and stunning
picture quality of broadcast TV.

DCTV Digitizes Video...

DCTV is also a "slow" scan video digitizer.  Using any color camera, still
video camera, or still frame capable VCR, DCTV can capture a full color
composite video frame in about 10 seconds. Once the video image is captured,
powerful DCTV image processing controls allow complete picture manipulation
including conversion to any IFF format.

FEATURES...

>> Digitize and display full color NTSC video graphics on any Amiga.
>> Display full color video images with millions of colors.
>> Capture a video frame in 10 seconds from any color video camera.
      Also works with still video cameras, video disk, and freeze frame VCRs.
>> Display and capture full color 24-bit high resolution IFF images.
>> Convert DCTV images to any IFF display format including HAM and 24-bit.
>> Animate in full NTSC color.
