- 23 pin RGB input connector for the Amiga signal
- RGB through connector to attach a monitor
- all connectors located at the rear side
- no transcoding between the signals
- connecting both Y/C and composite signals simultaneously is not supported
- fader knob - the fading range is limited
- two switches select between the operation modes:
- genlocked mode - colour zero is transparent, all others float above the live video backdrop
- inverse mode (keyhole effect) - colour zero is solid, all other colours produce holes
- video passthrough mode - Amiga graphics is hidden
- Amiga passthrough mode - useful for recording Amiga graphics only
- toggling the switches may cause loss of sync or loss of colour
- unable to handle extreme overscan effectively - the left side of the Amiga screen overlaps the video image
