From BYTE, August 1990:

CAPTURE COLOR VIDEO FOR COMPUTER DISPLAY

ComputerEyes is a two-thirds-length low-priced video digitizer that offers
640- by 480-pixel image capture from any Super-VHS or Hi-8 camcorder or VCR
at up to 24-bit (16-million-color) palette depth.  Then you can display the
images on CGA, EGA, VGA, or Super VGA graphics systems.

Full 24-bit color is available in TIFF and Targa format; ComputerEyes also
supoorts PCX, IFF, Targa TGA, ColorRix, and Windows.  Or you can digitize
8-bit gray scale from up to 256 gray levels.

Other features include simultaneous capture and display; a live-image
preview mode to frame, focus and adjust color an intensity balance before
capturing; and menu-driven software.  The minimum configuration is an XT
with 640K bytes of RAM, a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive, and DOS 2.1.

PRICE:  $449.95
CONTACT:  Digital Vision, Inc.
