DIGITAL VISION TO INTRODUCE NEW HIGH RESOLUTION COLOR VIDEO FRAME GRABBER

January 5, 1995 -- DEDHAM, MA -- Digital Vision, Inc. is pleased to
announce the addition of a new high-resolution video frame grabber to its
ComputerEyes line for IBM PC and compatible computers. The new
ComputerEyes/1024 model is set to ship in late January with an expected
list price of $599.95.

This new product is aimed at two markets: home/office applications, for the
discriminating user who needs higher image quality than available from
current multimedia capture boards for desktop publishing, presentations,
or image databases; and the industrial/analytical market, where its
accuracy, software developer toolkit, and long production life make
ComputerEyes/1024 an ideal capture platform for vision systems,
inspection, data analysis, etc.

ComputerEyes/1024, a 16-bit ISA bus board, grabs video data at an accurate
1024 x 512 samples and true 24-bit RGB color depth from any composite,
S-video, or RGB video source. This high sample rate greatly over-samples
standard camcorder and VCR capabilities for unrivaled image sharpness, and
is especially well matched to take full advantage of 600-700+ line rated
RGB, and 900+ line rated b/w video sources. The hardware's low-noise
design, accurate color decoding, and phase-locked circuitry guarantee very
precise sampling and reproducibility for image-critical applications.

The ComputerEyes/1024 control software additionally provides the ability to
enhance the captured image quality even further. While standard palette,
smooth, and sharpen capabilities are included, the software also provides
the ability to automatically add and average multiple video frames to
eliminate noise and sampling error inherent in any video signal. The
resulting images are quite superior to what one would normally expect from
a video source.

Although its mission is to capture the absolute most accurate data
possible, the new /1024 has also been optimized for speed of capturing
motion video clips for multimedia and video conferencing applications, at
up to eight times the video throughput of our popular ComputerEyes/RT
capture board. With its VRAM-based design and its ability to run as a
memory mapped device, ComputerEyes/1024 can capture motion AVI files at up
to 320x240 at 30 fps directly from its Windows control software or from
other applications using the provided VidCap driver.

Says company president, David Pratt,-"A lot of thought went into the design
of our 'next generation' video capture device and we feel that it's the
best all-around capture solution on the market." He stresses its
conflict-free plug-and-go capabilities for the casual user, excellent DOS
and Windows control softwares, its fast handling of video data for today's
multimedia applications, its pixel accuracy comparable to acquisition
boards costing several times its price, and its programmable design and
developer toolkit capabilities for OEM imaging application developers.

ComputerEyes/1024 will join the company' s other popular ComputerEyes video
capture models for IBM PC and Macintosh computers.
