The following ShrinkIt archive: Video1000.BXY consist of three 5.25 - 140k disk
(.dsk) images that can be turned into REAL Apple II 5.25 bootable disks, using a
varity of programs like disk2file, Asimov 1.4, Copy II Plus v7.1, etc.
When I received this disk image collective a few days ago the following
information and documentation text file was included with the disk image (.dsk)
archives. It's amazing to think that such an animation video program, interface
card and system was developed and available for the early Apple II models, so
long ago.
Read below for an exact copy of this text file which is also included within the
Video1000.BXY ShrinkIt archive.

Video1000 made by MFB is a video digitizing interface for the Apple II
series. It uses the NEC �PB7402C chip.
Master.dsk Digitizing software
Demo.dsk Demo, does not need interface card
Grossbild.dsk Utility for digitizing 768x640 pixels
A frame consists of 384x320 pixels (16k) and is stored in the card's
video RAM and in the memory range $4000..$7FFF. The card must be
installed in slot 7.
Upper connector: Video in from Apple
Middle connector: Video in from Camera/VCR (50 Hz b/w)
Lower connector: Video out to monitor
After booting the Master disk you will be asked whether you have a RAM
card or not. A RAM card can be used for digitizing movies, Saturn-like
models with 128..1024k are supported. Now the video signal will be
displayed. Press
P for grey scale
N for a rastered image (only black and white)
-> to increase brightness
<- to decrease brightness
R to record a picture and display video memory contents
Press 'ctrl-S i', i=1..8, to save the picture to a DOS 3.3 formatted disk.
The data disks do not have a catalog, image 1 occupies track 3..6, image 2
track 7..11 and so on. With 'ctrl-L i' you can load a picture into video
memory. The digitized image is bigger than the hires screen. Press ctrl-A
to switch over to hires display, then
ctrl-P to fit a grey scale image into the hires screen
ctrl-N for rastered images
cursor keys, A+Z to select a part of the digitized image without
scaling it
ctrl-D to save the hires screen (as a regular B file with 34
sectors, on a standard DOS 3.3 disk)
A RAM card can be used to digitize a sequence of 8..64 pictures, 4 frames
per second.
ctrl-R record
ctrl-F playback
ctrl-B i, i=1..8 select 128k block
i, i=1..8 display picture no i from actual 128k block
Press Q to exit the program, RUN to restart.
