Yes, Fotovix came in two models - one only did 35mm and smaller.  The
other would take 2 1/4.  You fed negatives or positives into it while
they were sandwiched between a plastic holder.  You had some limited
zoom capability and you could focus (somewhat)  There was brightness and
hue control.  It was ok for proofing with a TV set but the images from
it were not very sharp.  It was a useful device as you could record the
images with your VCR onto VHS tape.
