Programs to transfer and print 24bit ilbm and ppm to a videoprinter This archive contains programs to use with a Mitsubishi Color Video Copy Processor CP100E. Itīs a device which produces 18bit Color prints on special paper with sizes from about 110x110 mm up to 150x110 mm. The processor includes a 18bit real-time videodigitizer with a wide range of compatibility to any video source. Its resolution is (in standard mode) 640x580 pixels.

You now have a remote control for the most important functions of your videoprinter and it can easily be upgraded to serve your needs. For a description read doc/toolmanager.doc The print programs reside in the bin-directory. You can use them to simply print out your favourite pictures or to digitize a picture and the superimpose a copyright line etc. To use them you must have connected the videoprinter to your amiga with a standard parallel printer cable. The used PPM-format is described in the documentation of the PBM-package by Jeff Poskanzer. There are several programs in the public domain/freeware area (including an amiga port of the pbm-package) that support conversion of different file formats from and to this ppm-format. I DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING! There might appear a Vogon ship and blow up your planet after starting any of these programs or your cat might drop dead. Therefore just blowing up your computer with it might be considered the most harmless thing to happen B-> The sources are included.
