Manufacturer ICD, USA | Date 1990 | Amiga A500, A1000, A2000, CDTV | Interface 68000 socket | Autoconfig ID 2071 / 2 |
- IDE Controller
- small 1" by 3" board that connects to the 68000's socket
- fits in the CDTV if a shallow IDE connector is used
- AdIDE 44 (Novia) for 2.5" internal drives
- covers the Paula and CIA A chips
- mounting brackets and screws are supplied for mounting the hard disk inside an A500
- AdIDE 40 (Prima) for 3.5" drives
- drives can be fitted into an A500 in place of the built-in floppy drive using the Shuffle Board
- autobooting (adide.device or icddiskide.device) - requires at least Kickstart 1.3
- autobooting is problematic with the CDTV - either a boot floppy has to be used (which a bare CDTV lacks), or after a reset by selecting the hard disk in the Early Startup Menu (which require at least Kickstart 2.0)
- incompatible with Western Digital and IBM hard disks
- AdIDE 44 rules out accelerators that connect to the 68000's socket due to mechanical constraints
- AdIDE 40 is compatible with processor expansions if the AdIDE is fitted below the accelerator - reported to be functional in A500 are CSA Derringer and Mega-Midget Racer, as well as Microbotics VXL*30
- older software revisions work only with 68000 processor cards
- A-Max II driver (icddiskide.amhd)

Manufacturer G2 Systems, UK | Date 1991 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port, parallel port |
- genlock
- a broadcast quality genlock in a 19" rack mount enclosure
- composite, Y/C, RGB and Y/Cr/Cb modes
- the function of the video input and output connectors (Keyer 1-3, 6× BNC, 2× mini-DIN) depend on the video mode selected on the front panel:
Keyer 1 Keyer 2 Keyer 3 CVBS/YC mode CVBS Y C RGB mode G R B Y/Cr/Cb mode Y Cr Cb - composite, Y/C and RGBS outputs of the Amiga signal (5× BNC, 1× mini-DIN) - all are constantly available regardless of the selected video mode
- the Y/C keyer BNC terminals are parallel with the 4 pin mini-DIN Y/C multipoles - both outputs should not be used simultaneously
- key output (a standard non-composite waveform) for use with a video mixer (1× BNC)
- reference input with loop connector (2× BNC)
- must be provided with a stable accurate reference - direct videotape signals are not suitable
- cross fade with external background signal
- crossfade, key and fade to black via sliders on a separate remote control
- background mode: colour zero is set to the overlay colour, video is seen through
- foreground mode: the colour to be made transparent is controlled by a rotary switch
- adjustable key colour, subcarrier and horizontal phase
- can be used to encode the RGB output of a genlocked Harlequin graphics card, but it is not possible to obtain a signal mixed or keyed over a background video source using the VC3 internal keyers
- software control via the parallel port
- separate PAL and NTSC models
- internal power supply
- optional RGB-Link board
- enables an external linear RGB signal to be processed the same way as the Amiga signal
- input the RGB-Link board is via a DB25 connector which replaces the Amiga software control port - the Amiga computer control facility is lost
- switching between Amiga and external RGB is provided by the manual/computer switch on the front panel
- VC3C variant
- provides all functions of the VC3 except for the 3 channels of keying
- if fitted, the following ports are not available for use:
- keyer inputs
- Amiga control port
- remote control port
- VC3B variant
- provides RGB, Sync and key outputs only
- if fitted, the following ports are not available for use:
- keyer inputs and outputs (3 channels)
- PAL and Y/C outputs
- Amiga control port
- remote control port
- if fitted, the following front panel controls are not available for use:
- RGB/CVBS/YCrCb switch
- 2 subcarrier phase controls
