ScuzzBlog: Diaries June 2023 Entry 4th June 2023: Post 1: Vidi Chrome - For the Vidi Amiga Frame Grabber. Vidi Chrome - For the Vidi Amiga Frame Grabber. I was well pleased to come across this Vidi Chrome software for the Vidi Amiga. Fortunately for me the package did not include the disk and so that may have put off bidders. I already have the software and the manual and so really only wanted the colour art to the folder. Vidi Chrome represents an early version for the software which was released to support the VidiAmiga frame grabber. The software basically captures three simultaneous frame grabs and then colours and mixes them to create the full colour image. Time was when video capture whether by camera or video player was the way to go with the Amiga when inputting images to the machine. And none did this more effectively than the Rombo systems. For my part I kinda lived for years with the VidiAmiga hooked up to the A1200 via the SONY HandyCam and video player. The software eventually became one of the major players for video grabbing and digitizing, though much of the bedrock of the kit was the basic image grabbing avoiding the use of the scanners. Used in tandem with DPaint both art and animation files could be very easily manipulated and also gave a wealthy ready stock of 'anim-brushes' for use with other titles. I sense I may now have all that Rombo created for the Amiga. I am aware that they also ported to the Atari so there may be one or two things I don't have for that platform. The software certainly represents one of the most important applications for the Amiga in the day. Just a heads up, you do need the kit to get the best out of the software.
