      • supports NTSC or PAL and SVHS
      • genlocks the Vivid 24 using either a sync generator or any external video source
      • plugs into the same location as a video memory module
    • video effects generator (for use with the video encoder module)
      • provides input for two video sources
      • special effects
      • allows the mixing of both sources based on the Vivid 24 computer generated graphics
  • SAGE (Standard Amiga Graphics Environment) driver
