- automatic fading - the faders serve to set the fading time between 0.2 - 20 seconds
- RGB monitor switch: switches the display between genlock and computer picture without affecting the video outputs
- keying active switch: allows imposing the computer picture over a static video picture - when inactive the fader can be used to dissolve between full computer and video picture
- keying invert switch: when inactive, video is projected onto the computer image where color 0 is - when active, video is shown at positions other than color 0
- alpha overlay switch: allows semi-transparent colors or anti-aliasing
- built in black burst generator for recording the computer image without receiving a video source
- VITC timecode support
- all functions can be controlled by software through the serial port
- integrated ARexx port
- standby mode - when the genlock is not needed it is possible to work on the computer without disconnecting it - all Amiga screen modes are passed through to the RGB monitor
- for operation with the A3000's video enhancer, the "A3000" jumper has to be set on the Neptun's circuit board
- takes power from the RGB port, but can use an external power supply too
