3 expansions in database
Manufacturer A-Squared Development, USA | Date 1987 | Amiga A1000 | Interface side expansion port | Autoconfig ID 1005 / 1 |
- framegrabber
- grayscale capture in 16 shades (15 frames/s)
- colour capture in 32 (12 frames/s) or 4096 colours (4 frames/s)
- supports overscan
- does not have video buffer - the digitized data is transfered directly to the Amiga memory
- takes over the entire machine during digitizing - no multitasking, no hard disk access
- the intention is to fill the memory with video and then dump it hard disk or floppy
- uses self-modifying code, so it's incompatible with 68020 or higher processors
- composite input and output (RCA connectors)
- connects to the side expansion port, no passthrough connector

Manufacturer A-Squared Development, USA | Date 1989 | Amiga A2000, A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro II | Autoconfig ID 1005 / 1 |
- realtime digitizer
- grayscale capture in 16 shades (15 frames/s)
- colour capture in 32 (12 frames/s) or 4096 colours (4 frames/s)
- supports overscan
- does not have video buffer - the digitized data is transfered directly to the Amiga memory using DMA
- four BNC connectors - two setups can be selected by jumper
- mode 1: two inputs (FBAS) and two outputs (passed through video signal for control purposes)
- mode 2: one RGB input with sync
- very sensitive on the quality of the video signal
- PAL (1987) and NTSC (1989) versions
- the PAL version was manufactured by Elan Design, author of the Invision Plus software
- requires a hardware upgrade kit (a pal replacement and a jumper cut) in order to work in A3000s and A4000s
- Invision Plus software
- seriously enhances the abilities of the card compared to the original Live! software
- realtime effects (e.g. manipulation of colour register, fade out to black or white, wipes, strobes, looping) which can be attached to keys and mouse movements
- effects can be combined (keys + mouse)
- supports Anim-5 format
- can capture sequences as large as the amount of free memory
- multiple capture buffers
