    Framegrabber
  • slow-scan video digitizer with internal color splitter
  • grabs color or b/w images in all resolutions of the OCS chip set including interlaced overscan screen modes in one pass
  • works internally in 24 bits (16M colors)
  • resolutions: 320×256/512 or 640×256/512 (Lo-res/Hi-Res), overscan resolutions in 384×282/564 or 768×282/564
  • supports 32 colors / grey shades, 64 colors (Half-Brite mode) or 4096 colors (HAM mode)
  • Hi-Res mode is limited to 16 colors or grey shades
  • two additional display modes allow more colors:
    • 29.791 HAM color mode relies on the persistence of images on the human retina by switching two images very fast, providing intermediate colors that way
    • 4096 color mode that uses only 16 colors - the color palette is switched each line to enable more colors
  • tracking (signal synchronisation), level, brightness and color controls on the front plate
  • switch to select either direct input signal passthrough or display of computer screen - useful for settings on an attached camera
  • 3 different digitization modes:
    • Fast mode: 1 pass, image acquisition in 13s
    • Medium mode: 2 passes with averaging (reduces noise from the signal)
    • Slow mode: 4 passes with averaging (reduces noise from the signal)
  • software effects include Zoom, Multipic, Mosaic, Threshold, Negative
  • texture mapping function allows wrapping a picture around a built-in shape, e.g. cubes, hexagons, pyramids or cylinders
  • images can be saved in IFF or 24 bit RGB format
  • composite (1× BNC) and Y/C (separate chrominance and luminance - 2× BNC) inputs - the active input is selected via switch on the front plate
  • 1× 23 pin RGB Amiga input
  • 1× 23 pin monitor output
  • 1× parallel port connection (header), no passthrough
  • requires 5V DC, provided by floppy port adapter or external power supply
  • metallic desktop case in white or black
    Notes
  • software is compatible with 68020 and 68030 processors
