1. Introduction
15-bit and 24-bit display
A multisync monitor greatly enhances the functionality of the Eagle.
It is recommended that a monitor such as the AKF18, normally
supplied with the A5000, is the
minimum
specification monitor
that should be considered.
To appreciate fully the quality of the live image display facility of the
Eagle it is best to use 15-bit display modes. This option is currently
open only to users of graphics accelerator cards such as the
ColourCard.
Image and movie capture in 15bpp and 24bpp is possible without
such a card. However, to fully appreciate the results of video or
graphics work using the Eagle, you should consider purchasing a
ColourCard. The enhancements it provides are well worthwhile.
The applications suite
On the Eagle disc:
!TakeTwo– use this to:
• view an incoming video picture,
• grab a still image,
• grab a movie image, or
• view a movie image stored on disc.
For more information refer to 4. Viewing and grabbing images

!SysMerge– this updates the !System directory on your computer.
This is detailed later.

scale still images. For more information, refer to the ScanLight Plus
