    • double buffered 12 bit (4096 colours) animations or a single buffered 24 bit (16.7 million colours) image
    • 768×625 (PAL) or 768×525 (NTSC) maximum resolution
  • framegrabber:
    • realtime digitizing at up to 25 fps
    • freeze, grab and store 12 or 24 bit full screen live RGB video in real time frame grabbing

    • separate composite and component (RGB + sync) genlocks
    • three genlock modes - controlled by a switch on the back of the board:
      • Amiga graphics only
      • keyed source - allows external video to show through the background
      • full external - direct feed of the RGB signal so it can be seen what the camera is pointing at or the live video to show through every colour but the background
