The DigiView was limited to the resolution of the B/W
camera
you chose, as well as its own limits of RS-170 video. These
days, you'd be far better-off with a digital camera on that
copy stand.
I understand that, but at the time it was pretty impressive
and I mentioned it due to the similarities of the setup with the
copystand. It would do 4,096 colors in up to 704 x 480 (Dynamic
Hi-Res at max overscan). I've got the full setup (Digi-View,
Digi-Droid, Panasonic WV-1410 CCTV camera, Digi-Paint 3, and copy
stand) plus a Sunrize color splitter. I've mostly used it with the
color splitter, vice the camera. Now days, if I want a close-up of
something, I generally put it on my flatbed scanner with a white
cloth over it. HP Scanjet's are especially good at capturing depth
of field like this, though mine is a rebadged Relisys Infinity
Scorpion with it's internal RAM expanded.
