It would be interesting to see this done with a 2600...
I remember a color digitizer that was available for the Coco3 that could
display an advertized 4096 colors in near-photo quality resolution. My
understanding was that they used a medium-res graphics mode (could've been
640x192, though...don't quite remember) and flickered 3 images - R, G, and B.
Might have been RBY...don't remember. Maybe black too. Anyway, when
digitizing a pic, you only needed a B/W video cam! You'd use lighting gels
to filter the proper color. I guess there was noticable flicker, but I saw
some time lapse photos (delay = 3 video frames) taken of the screen,
and it was amazing.
