- 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
- color palette mapping can be manipulated to match the colors in the source material
- expansion connects to the parallel port of the Amiga
- input connectors:
