TEMPLATE: ilbm2prt ILBMFILE/A RGB_BASENAME/A
ilbm2prt converts a 24 bit ILBM into three files (red,green,blu) that
can be send to a Mitsubishi Color Video Copy Processor CP100E.
The ilbm has to be 24bit deep since the Videoprinter uses a 24bit format
and, by ignoring the two least significant bits, prints an 18 bit deep
picture.
There exist several programs to convert standard ILBMs and other
graphics formats to the standard 24bit ILBM-format.
The RGB-Basename <file> will be expanded to <file>.red, <file>.grn and
<file>.blu. This files can be send to the Videoprinter with the sequence:
"copy <file>.red to par:
copy <file>.grn to par:
copy <file>.blu to par:"
Since each file includes a header which sets the color, the files can be
send in any order.
This procedure copies the file to the videoprinter memory. To print it,
you have to send the print command sequence (ESC P) or press the print
button. This allows you to superimpose a smaller picture on the first
by using ppm2prt. This can be used to insert a copyright line, a scale
or a legend.
To create this inserts, see ppm2prt.doc
