  • digitizes colour images in three pass using a colour filter wheel
  • the wheel has to be mounted on a monochrome camera and rotated for each successive scan - an optional motor drive (Digi-Droid) allows automatic rotation of the wheel
  • the composite video signal is fed to the RCA jack on the DigiView unit
  • 12 bit accuracy in colour, 4 bit in monochrome
  • connects to the A1000 parallel port, requires gender changer for later Amigas
