A recent ANTIC reviewed 3 video digitizers.  I don't trust their reviews.
Does anybody have any of the digitizers in qeustion, the Computereyes,
the Navarone (formally Hippo), and Print-Technik?  Do they all take the
NTCS composite video signal (from VCR?)
I wouldn't expect anything great for a couple bills, plus the low-rez
can't do anything broadcast quality, but how good are they?  Are they
worth it?

I have the Hippo Sound Digitizer, and it is pretty poor.  It is impossible
to record woto record without a DC hum, (it is noisy that is to say).  It is wha
expect for around $100. The software could have been writen better, altho
it was good enough to do a signal processing project with.

Any comments welcomed, thanx... Jeff Beer, at UUCJEFF@ECNCDC.BITNET
