     Computereyes is made by Digital Vision and goes for about $129.00.  It 
includes the Computereyes module; the Executive, which is a menu-driven
program that allows you to aquire images, view them, and save them to disk;
and last the Computereyes manual.  Now the only thing you need now is the
video source.  You can get this source from the following:

         * Video Recorders
         * Video Camera
         * Videodisk
         * Other Computers

     The only video input we are covering is what I'm using which is a
black/white surveilance camera.  This camera is an RCA Tc2000 closed-circuit
camera mounted on a tripod with a 300W video light. Now as far as what I have
put into this system' money wise' is listed below:

Computereyes------------$109.00

RCA B/W Carmera---------$228.00

10ft Cable--------------$  8.00

300W Video Light--------$109.00

Misc Cables/adaptor-----$ 25.00

     As you can see it can run into a lot of money,but if you already own a
video camera you probably already spent around $900.00 for it.  But back to
Computereyes, I really enjoy being able to have a picture and save it to disk
to be later printed out as sign, greeting card, etc.  There is a lot you can
do with this equipment at home or at work.
     As to printing out the finished picture you need a graphic program such
as, Doodle, Koala Printer, Print Shop, Print Master, Newsroom, Billboard Maker
or Flexidraw.  Computereyes comes with its own program that saves it to
Computereyes format.  The only printing program I know of that will load this
format is the Billboard Maker.  But there is a program called the Icon
Factory, by Solutions Unlimited, that will load this format and save it back
to most of the different graphic formats that are on the market today.
