Hi. I'm looking for a card for the Mac II which would allow one to take TV
images and capture it as a 8-bit color (nb: not greyscale) picture?  Of
course, it should be possible to store the captured image in a "standard"
color picture format (say PIC2).

Ideally this card should also be able to handle higher resolutions higher
than standard TV broadcasts [laserdisk, S-VHS, etc].  It would also be nice
it it could expand/shrink/crop the original image to fit various resolutions.
For example, broadcast TV is something like 330x525 but I might want my
captured image to be a 640x480 image.

Does anything like this exist?  Is it affordable?
