#HOW TO MERGE VIDEOS IN PDPLAYER FULL#
The main difference with the Falcon version of the program is in the full screen section, Instead of a selection of options to create Spectrum 512 pictures from separate red, green and blue grabs, the Falcon version has a true colour merge option. There are two versions of the digitising and editing program on the Videomaster disk, one for the ST and TT and a slightly different version for the Falcon. Videomaster can make grabs from any composite video source. Alternatively you could digitise games from another computer as long as you use the composite video output of the machine you wish to make grabs from. Use a VCR as a video source or, if you have a satellite dish or cable TV, you can grab directly from any channel which you can record on your VCR - simply turn your VCR to the appropriate channel that you normally use to record satellite programs. Apart from the leads connecting to the Video source, that's all there is to the hardware side of Videomaster. Input for both video and audio is by means of standard phono sockets, with two controls to adjust the contrast and darkness (or brightness, to the rest of us) levels. The cartridge is very heavy compared to earlier devices and if you look inside you can see a packed circuit board with no room Spare for even one more chip. You're not going to be surprised to find out teat the Videomaster comes in the now standard L-shaped cartridge so beloved of cubit Systems, as used for previous 2-Bit samplers Such as Stereo Replay and Replay 16. Not only does it grab the video, you can actually grab the soundtrack at the same time!
