Amiga Hardware DatabaseManufacturer Peter Biet Computerdesign, Germany | Date 1992 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface joystick port, RGB port |
- Genlock
- external genlock with digital signal processor and RGB splitter for consumers and semi-professional use, connected to the RGB and joystick port of the Amiga
- phase-locked chroma subcarrier
- integrated RGB splitter to enhance video quality and video digitizer support
- allows color correction via controls at the front panel - color, contrast and brightness
- supported effects: fading, superimposing, inverse superimposing - controllable via controls at the front panel, effects can be run automatically
- input connectors:
- 1× RCA Composite Video In
- 1× Mini DIN Y/C (S-VHS) Video In
- 1× 9 pin RGB Amiga Video Input
- 1× Joystick Input
- connection to Amiga is done via shielded RGB cable with a metal box containing an oscillator board
- output connectors:
- 1× RCA Composite Video Out
- 1× Mini DIN Y/C (S-VHS) Video Out
- 1× 9 pin RGB Bypass to attach a monitor
- 1× RCA Composite Digitizer Video Out (RGB splitter output)
- outputs are buffered and can be used simultaneously
- digitizer output allows connecting a slow scan video digitizer that digitizes in 3 passes (red, green and blue) - 3 LEDs display the current channel, the channel switching is done automatically by the software via joystick port
- switch to disable interlace mode - the image is shown flicker-free with reduced resolution
- 'Professional' version provides an additional RGB Bypass output for a monitor, a special synchronization circuit on the oscillator board for increased image stability, and two automatic wipe effects
- measured composite video bandwidth is 2.5 MHz, measured Y/C bandwidth 4 MHz
- for the 'Professional' version, the bandwidth is increased to 3.5 MHz (composite) resp. 4.5 MHz (Y/C)
- limitations in video performance: black level does not reach 0.3V, blue and yellow levels are too high
- metal enclosure
- integrated 220V power supply
