- optional TMS 34082 coprocessor
- 3 MB VRAM
- 8 MB RAM (optional)
- continuous hardware scrolling of a 768×576 window
- realtime 24 bit digitising in broadcast quality
- 8 bit alpha channel for linear keying
- component RGB output, for Y/C inputs / outputs additional hardware is needed (e.g. Sony YR-1000)
- doesn't sync well to poor video inputs, therefore benefits from a time-base corrector (TBC) for optimal image quality
- bundled with Imagica Paint software
- draw, brush, video and stencil functions
- rub through and transparency controls
- advanced text effects
- video features include rectangular and Sobel filters
