    Real-time Framegrabber
  • 96 kB internal framebuffer
  • digitizes a frame of up to 352×276 in grayscale 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 176×138 - 352×276 in up to 64 or 256 greyscales (depending on the software)
  • color support 16 - 4096 colors
  • AGA support (with software revision ≥6.0)
  • maximum resolution 704×552 with overscan support
  • 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
  • composite video output (Cinch) to connect a control monitor
  • four composite video inputs (Cinch) at the rear
    • with a RGB Splitter, e.g. Snapshot RGB or Snapshot RGB 2, images can be captured in color using input connector 2 - 4
    • 3.3 MHz low pass filter on each input to reduce noise
    • software-switchable filter for a 4.43 MHz color carrier
  • four audio inputs (Cinch), these allow recording audio together with video
  • Remote Control Port at the rear (3.5mm jack) for "Snapshot Remote", a video recorder controller, allows digitizing of sequences
  • three potentiometers at the front plate for setting black / white limits (saturation and brightness) and interlace synchronization - a LED indicates the synchronization status
  • external power supply
    Notes
  • software comes in two variants, for 68000 processor and for accelerator boards (68020 / 030 support)
  • sturdy metal case
