- broadcast quality digital video encoder (NTSC, PAL, SVHS)
- allows high resolution graphics to be taken directly to video tape retaining their broadcast quality
- supports NTSC or PAL and SVHS
- genlocks the Vivid 24 using either a sync generator or any external video source
- plugs into the same location as a video memory module
- video effects generator (for use with the video encoder module)
- provides input for two video sources
- special effects
- allows the mixing of both sources based on the Vivid 24 computer generated graphics
- SAGE (Standard Amiga Graphics Environment) driver
