Short: Framegrabber & animation software for EGS graphics cards Author: hhoff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Helmut Hoffmann) Uploader: hhoff@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Helmut Hoffmann) Type: gfx/board EGS-TV-Professional The Desktop-Video and Framegrabber software for EGS =================== *** support of VLab and IV24 framegrabbers *** *** usable as stand alone sequence/animation software *** *** (automatic import of whole directories of pictures) *** +++ new: now also black&white handyscanner support +++ This is the full version of EGS-TV V4.6, the shareware video software for EGS graphic boards. To use this as full version you need a keyfile, which can only be obtained by registering directly by me. Without keyfile EGS-TV has some restrictions. What does EGS-TV offer? ----------------------- EGS-TV is a pure EGS program. It offers high/true-color sequence editing and animation generation for random access sequences on your harddisk (Professional version only). It can apply amazing trick technics as the Blue Screen Keying to your pictures and sequences/animations. Did you ever want to edit an 80MByte animation and delete a frame out of the middle? No problem with EGS-TV-Professional... All this is done through a font sensitive EGS user interface which runs on your biggest screens in 24Bit color quality... * Picture import from many programs (ImageFX, PicoPainter, SpectraPaint) * Picture loading functions (including scaling) in all common picture file formats as IFF-ILBM, JPeg, PPM/PGM/PBM, QRT, Targa, PCX, BMP, TIF, IFF-DEEP, YUV, VLab raw, IFF-RGB, IFF-PBM, IFF-ACBM, FBM, Sun raster, MacPaint, HHsXRL formats and more; OS3.x users can also use DataTypes. Pictures can be integrated or combined with sequences...; automatic scaling is available to integrate large pictures in animations/sequences of smaller picture size. * Automatic directory import, to create sequences from single pictures very conveniently * Framegrabber support for VLab- and IV24 (Impact Vision) with high color monitor function and much more: This makes your VLab or your IV24 to a Motion Video Card with sequence recording... * Handy scanner support (Cameron/Reisware) for 16 or 256 greyscales * Sequence editing functions as insert/append/delete; demo and classical version only support RAM sequences; the professional version additio- nally supports harddisk sequences * Blue Screen Keying system for stunning trick effects * Management of any number of pictures and sequences (only limited by memory); every picture or sequence has it's own preview window. * Saving of frames and exporting of sequences in many file formats (IFF,JPeg,YUV,PPM,QRT,Targa,DEEP,...); no saving possible in the demo version; JPeg saving only available in professional version. * Picture export to many programs (ImageFX, XiPaint, PicoPainter, TVPaint); more transfers can be configured by the user (not available in demo version) * Loading and saving of settings for different purposes or for the program start-up (not available in demo version) * Usable on any selectable screenmode and on the EGS-Default screen (in the demo version only the screen depths can be selected) * Freely distributable sequence player program for EGS is available in a separate archive (egstvplayer.lha) Requirements ------------ * Amiga-OS 2.04 or higher (OS3.0 or higher is recommended for harddisk recording and also needed for DataType support and sequence editing control with the joystick port) * EGS-System version 6.0 or higher EGS System 7.x users can find a window iconification icon in the archive (subdirectory EGS-Icons). This can be copied to EGS:EGS-Icons and will then be used as iconification icon instead of the default icon for all EGS-TV windows. * Much memory (at least 4MByte Fast-RAM; 6MByte Fast-RAM recommended) Video hardware support ---------------------- * VLab-Framegrabber (classical and Y/C; also as Parallelport versions; the VLab-Motion can not be supported as MacroSystem is not willing to provide documentation for programmers) * IV24 as Framegrabber * Cameron/Reisware handy scanner (no real Video hardware, but they can be used as frame source for b&w or greyscale pictures as well) * ... (more support is planned) EGS-TV can also be used without a framegrabber as stand alone video program (animation/sequence generation) by import and load functions. Registering ----------- The registration fee for EGS-TV Professional is currently 33US$ for users outside of europe and 40DM for users in europe (see registration form for other possible currencies).
