- 135 MHz in 8 bit modes
- 85 MHz in 16 / 24 bit modes
- 15.5 - 84 kHz horizontal frequency
- 50 Hz interlace - 160 Hz non-interlace vertical frequency
- 4 MB 64 bit 45 ns EDO RAM, eight chips
screen modes
- 1600×1200×16 interlace
- 1280×1024×24 non-interlace
integrated flicker fixer
- programmable up to 160 Hz
- 24 bit colourdepth for A4000, 12 bit for A3000 / A2000

- a time base corrector is required if used with a genlock
- Paloma TV tuner ()
- three video sources - TV tuner, S-VHS, FBAS
- the tuner supports only PAL B/G or PAL I, it does not support SECAM and NTSC
- the videodecoder supports all standards, so it would be possible to use SECAM or NTSC through the S-VHS or Composite input (using a VCR as external tuner), but...
- the software (PalomaTV) is written PAL only
- monoaural sound decoding only
- no teletext support
