Manufacturer A-Squared Development, USA | Date 1987 | Amiga A1000 | Interface side expansion port | Autoconfig ID 1005 / 1 |
- framegrabber
- grayscale capture in 16 shades (15 frames/s)
- colour capture in 32 (12 frames/s) or 4096 colours (4 frames/s)
- supports overscan
- does not have video buffer - the digitized data is transfered directly to the Amiga memory
- takes over the entire machine during digitizing - no multitasking, no hard disk access
- the intention is to fill the memory with video and then dump it hard disk or floppy
- uses self-modifying code, so it's incompatible with 68020 or higher processors
- composite input and output (RCA connectors)
- connects to the side expansion port, no passthrough connector

Manufacturer A-Squared Development, USA | Date 1989 | Amiga A2000, A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro II | Autoconfig ID 1005 / 1 |
- realtime digitizer
- grayscale capture in 16 shades (15 frames/s)
- colour capture in 32 (12 frames/s) or 4096 colours (4 frames/s)
- supports overscan
- does not have video buffer - the digitized data is transfered directly to the Amiga memory using DMA
- four BNC connectors - two setups can be selected by jumper
- mode 1: two inputs (FBAS) and two outputs (passed through video signal for control purposes)
- mode 2: one RGB input with sync
- very sensitive on the quality of the video signal
- PAL (1987) and NTSC (1989) versions
- the PAL version was manufactured by Elan Design, author of the Invision Plus software
- requires a hardware upgrade kit (a pal replacement and a jumper cut) in order to work in A3000s and A4000s
- Invision Plus software
- seriously enhances the abilities of the card compared to the original Live! software
- realtime effects (e.g. manipulation of colour register, fade out to black or white, wipes, strobes, looping) which can be attached to keys and mouse movements
- effects can be combined (keys + mouse)
- supports Anim-5 format
- can capture sequences as large as the amount of free memory
- multiple capture buffers

Manufacturer Videotechnik Diezemann, Germany | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port |
- Real-time Framegrabber
- integrated color splitter
- digitizes a frame in color in 1/50s (real-time frame grabbing)
- frame grabbing in color and larger resolutions takes several minutes with standard Amiga parallel port - for faster digitization, the Snapshot Portcard can be utilized
- supports resolutions up to 768×576
- 24 bit color support
- AGA support (with software revision ≥6.0)
- oversampling mode samples an image four times to minimize noise
- quadruple mode (4 picture sequence in one image) and multi-picture mode (16 picture sequence in one image)
- animation support (ANIM 5 format)
- customizable motion detection omits frames which are similar, saving space
- expansion connects to the parallel port of the Amiga
- external power supply
- Notes
- software comes in two variants, for 68000 processor and for accelerator boards (68020 / 030 support)
