- multi-function video card
- framebuffer:
- provides 12 or 24 bits of colour information to an Amiga screen
- 1.5 MB as two banks of 12 bit RAM
- double buffered 12 bit (4096 colours) animations or a single buffered 24 bit (16.7 million colours) image
- 768×625 (PAL) or 768×525 (NTSC) maximum resolution
- framegrabber:
- realtime digitizing at up to 25 fps
- freeze, grab and store 12 or 24 bit full screen live RGB video in real time frame grabbing
- composite and Y/C video requires an RGB splitter or the optional Video Interface Unit
- flicker fixer:
- duplicates and enhances the A3000's display enhancer circuitry
- even de-interlaces external live video
- the HD15 VGA output is software switchable between 15 and 31 kHz
- works only in 12 bit mode
- picture in picture:
- freeze, resize, move or scale live incoming RGB video in a window
- reverse-PIP - place a fully functional movable and scalable Workbench window on full screen live video
- works in 12 bit mode only
- genlock:
- separate composite and component (RGB + sync) genlocks
- three genlock modes - controlled by a switch on the back of the board:
- Amiga graphics only
- keyed source - allows external video to show through the background
- full external - direct feed of the RGB signal so it can be seen what the camera is pointing at or the live video to show through every colour but the background
- separated RGB, composite and Y/C inputs
- composite and Y/C outputs
- optional Video Interface Unit:
- connects to the 26 pin I/O connector of the IV24
- built-in RGB splitter converts the composite and Y/C inputs into RGB
- separate RGB, 2× composite, Y/C, external reference, key and remote control inputs
- composite, Y/C and key outputs
- software selectable sync source (external reference, composite 1 or 2, Y/C)
- optional Video Interface Unit / Component Transcoder:
- all features of the Video Interface Unit
- connects to the 26 pin I/O and the HD15 VGA connector of the IV24
- additional component input and output (Y, B-Y, R-Y), RGB output
- connects to the inline Zorro and video slots of the A3000
- can be installed in the A2000 with an optional video slot adaptor card
- does not require a time base corrector unless broadcast quality is required
- software: Scala, Caligari 24, MacroPaint, IV24 utilities
- VHI driver
