------------- DYNA-SHOW 1.3 ------------- Dyna-Show is a easy to use viewer that supports the Dynamic HiRes and Dynamic HAM modes available with Digi-View 4.0 software from NewTek. Dynamic HiRes can display 4096 colors in high resolution with overscan. Digi-View 4.0 is a software upgrade (disk & manual) for Digi-View Gold and the original Digi-View video digitizer. DYNA-SHOW INSTRUCTIONS: From WorkBench: Double click on the picture From CLI: Type "Dyna-Show FILENAME" The left mouse button will exit viewing the picture OTHER NEW DIGI-VIEW 4.0 FEATURES: * Dynamic HAM Dynamic palette control provides sharper HAM images virtually eliminating HAM fringing. (Not currently with compatable with Amiga HAM paint programs) * Noise Reduction Filters most high frequency background noise from the video signal for improved picture quality * Super-Bitmaps/Digi-Paint Images may be displayed directly into Digi-Paint 3 for editing and enhancement. HiRes images create auto-scrolling super- bitmaps of up to 768 x 480 x 4096 colors. After editing, these super-bitmaps may be loaded back into Digi-View 4.0 and displayed as Dynamic HiRes images. * ARexx Support Digi-View 4.0 can be controlled externally by other programs including ARexx, or CLI batch files. * RGB Printing Digi-View 4.0 now directly prints 12 bit processed RGB data. * 24 Bit Color Support 24 bit IFF RGB files may be loaded and saved for further image processing and exporting to typesetters or frame buffers. * Toll Free Tech Support Extended-hours technical support. 8 am - 7 pm central time. - these plus dozens of other new features are in the new version of the best-selling video digitizer of all time.

Crane Topeka KS 66603 SPECIAL NOTES: NewTek fully supports the multi-tasking philosophy of the Amiga but Dynamic displays take almost all of the Amiga's considerable power to maintain an image. Therefore Dyna-Show will safely turn off multi-tasking while displaying pictures. Multi-tasking will resume upon exiting Dyna-Show. While displaying, Dyna-Show checks the floppy disk drives to make sure that if disks are removed while multi-tasking is turned off AmigaDOS will be notified. This may result in a flicker of the drive lights.

Crane Topeka KS 66603 TECHNICAL NOTES: NewTek encourages all developers to support Dynamic display technology and will be releasing technical information on Dynamic modes. Dynamic HAM images are HAM images that use a different 16 color base palette on each scan line. This eliminates most if not all of the HAM "fringing" common to ordinary HAM displays and provides a sharper picture. Dynamic HAM images may be interlace and overscan if desired. Dynamic HiRes images are 4 bit plane deep, high resolution screens with a different 16 color palette on each scan line. This allows all 4096 colors to be used at once on a high resolution screen. Dynamic HiRes uses dithering to minimize palette limitations and provide the sharpest images possible with a standard Amiga. While low resolution Dynamic modes can be rendered on a 512K Amiga, Digi-View 4.0 can require up to 2 megabytes to create HiRes overscan, interlace images. All images may be viewed on a standard 512K Amiga. Exporting images interactively to Digi-Paint 3 requires 1 megabyte but can require up to 3 megabytes for 768 x 480 x 4096 color super-bitmaps. Since Dynamic modes must calculate a new palette for each scan line they take time to render. Low resolution Dynamic HAM takes about 2.5 minutes on a 512K Amiga. Overscan, interlace or HiRes will take proportionately longer to calculate. A 68020 or 68030 will drastically decrease the calculation time. You may adjust all the Digi-View image processing controls using normal displays then use Dynamic modes to render the final image.

It will automatically detect which system it is running on and display images correctly. Support has been added for Commodore's new 2630 card. Dyna-Show now supports all standard processor configurations.
