    V. STRATEGIES OF IMAGE GRABBING SUGGESTED

    A. FIELD-BY-FIELD GRABBING on pause mode

    * Put VCR on pause -> grab image (field) -> either store image in
    the hard disk (w/ compression) or direct digitizing
    * Requires time-base corrector & synch pulse generator integrated
    VCR to grab a stable video image from the VCR on PAUSE mode
    * Ariel System uses similar strategy.
    * Time base corrector: a device which strips off the unstable video
    synch pulse and adds a new stable one
    * Manual field advance

    B. FRAME-BY-FRAME GRABBING

    * Grab video image frame by frame.
    * Split each frame into odd and even field: interpolation is
    required for the missing lines.
    * Peak System uses this approach.
    * Automatic frame advance with computer controllable VCR (RS232
    interface) or VCR + video controller board
