Exposé Falcon Video Digitizer

Orders: 800-448-8623

What Is Exposé?

Exposé is an advanced video digitizer

for use with the Atari and C-Lab

Falcon030 series of computers. It pro-

vides a means to “capture” live video

images, either as a single frame or a

sequence of images, from a camera or

VCR in real time, with a resolution of

512x512 in true color.

What Does This All Mean?

The image from the camera or VCR is

automatically processed by the RGB

Splitter and divided into three separate,

analog signals: red, green and blue (com-

monly referred to as RGB). The RGB sig-

nal is then diverted down an intercon-

necting cable to Exposé, where it is con-

verted to a digital format that the Falcon

can interpret. Exposé then passes the

image across the Atari Falcon’s internal

expansion bus where it is displayed on-

screen at whatever resolution is selected

within the software. All this happens in

“real-time” – that is, “so quick you won’t

notice it’s happening!”

Exposé permits this digital image to retain

a 16-bitplane true color palette (or in

other words, a picture containing 65,536

colors per image), thereby retaining near

photographic quality. In addition, the

supporting soft-

ware, APEX Media

(sold separately),

further boosts this

capability to realize

even higher resolu-

tion in 24 bit color

(16,777,216 colors

per image).

However to realize

this resolution and

number of colors,

realistically this

method can only be

used to capture still

images with the camera mounted on a tri-

pod or with the VCR paused (preferably

digital freeze frame).

Using Exposé and APEX Media to capture

live video on the fly allows a sequence of

images to be compiled into an animation,

which can then be played back within

APEX Media or stored as a FLIC file.

Easy to Install

Installation of the hardware into the

Falcon is simplicity itself. The Exposé dig-

itizer card plugs onto the internal expan-

sion connector and is connected to the

RGB Splitter via an interface cable.

designed for operation on any Falcon030

computer and should be compatible with

all hardware modifications or software

enhancements.
