What is MacVision ?

A digital imaging system that enables you to display and save a digitized picture on the Mac’s screen. The system consists of two components. The first component is a hardware interface, which is attached to the Mac’s modem port and to a video camera or videocassette recorder. The second component is a disk that allows you to install MacVision as a desk accessory in the Mac’s Apple menu.

To operate MacVision, you select Camera from the Apple menu. The program scans the video image and you adjust the brightness and contrast; both a single scan and a repeat scan option are available. When the image is satisfactory, you can save it as a document and retouch it with MacPaint before printing it out. Images are displayed at a resolution of 320 by 240 dots in the MacVision window.
