    video synchronizer
  • unlike infinite window TBCs, the MicroSync features four-field composite processing - this eliminates the need to separate the incoming video signal into chrominance and luminance components
  • delivers transparent, stable video, free of bandwidth limitations or comb filter artifacts
  • any direct color or monochrome signal can be connected, such as the output of a satellite receiver or camera
  • cannot process non time base corrected heterodyne signals, such as those from U-Matic or VHS machines - for those sources, the MicroSync can be mixed with the Personal TBC 4 Plus wideband TBC card
  • selectable frame and field freeze, variable strobe, digitally controlled proc amp settings, selectable hot-switch modes, dual clamp speeds, genlock loop, RS-232 serial control
  • four-field, two-field and hot frame modes, automatic bypass upon loss of power, nonvolatile proc amp memory, adjustable vertical blanking width
  • controlled via the serial port

    SCSI controller
  • 53C80 controller IC
  • uses polled I/O, not DMA transfer
  • to reduce CPU load the controller buffers two 8 bit transfers from the hard disk and transfers them as 16 bit to memory
  • autoboot ROM (suprascsi.device) - autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
  • automounts FFS volumes only
  • 50 pin internal header
  • DB25 external connector
  • place for a 3.5" hard disk on the card
  • the hard disk takes its power directly from the power supply not the card itself
  • A-Max II driver
  • supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD
  • series III:
    • RDB compatible
    • unlike former revisions this one automounts all volumes
  • no RAM option
  • hard disk activity LED connector
  • hard frame

Sync Strainer
Manufacturer
PreVue Technologies / VueTech, USA
Amiga
A2000, A3000, A4000
Interface
RGB port
  • allows the use of multisync monitors while the Amiga is in genlock mode
  • in genlock mode the horizontal and vertical sync signals are set to 7.8 kHz on the Amiga video port - these signals are not used by single scan monitors, but are required for multiscan monitors
  • when the Sync Strainer senses a genlock condition (as when the Video Toaster is started), it creates new H- and V-sync's from Composite sync
  • acts as a simple buffer for H- and V-sync when the Amiga puts out 15.7 kHz or 31.4 kHz horizontal scan rate
  • automatically switches between the various scan modes
  • a 2" × 3" × 1/2" module which connects to the 23 pin RGB connector
  • available with DB9 or HD15 VGA output connectors
  • works with any genlock which does not use the 23 pin RGB port
  • the Sync Strainer is not a scandoubler, the analog RGB signal is passed through unchanged
