Is there a way to use this as input >to the Digiview with out the need for a color spliter? Normally yes.. But it isn't a good idea because most of the consumer-vcrs do only show one frame (and not the whole pictures consiting of one odd and one even frame) when they're paused.... So you loose half of the vertical resolution. I know this from PAL-machines, maybe in NTSC it's different..
