Manufacturer Hama, Germany | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port, joystick port |
- video edit controller
- receives commands from the Amiga through the parallel port and converts them to serial data for the 7 pin mini-DIN player and recorder remote ports
- the video player must have an edit terminal, either 5 pin Edit (Panasonic), Control-L, Remote or LANC (Sony)
- the video recorder is controlled through its infra-red port, meaning:
- it cannot be connected in the same manner as the player
- single-frame accuracy can never be achieved, just &plusminus;4 frames
- the communication is one way, the Amiga does not receive any feedback from the recorder - any fluctuation in the deck's mechanism or skipping of the control track is not compensated for or spotted by the Amiga
- to keep frame drifting to a minimum, the software offers an auxiliary frame counter which lets the user compensate for the pre-roll and post-roll of both decks
- jog shuttle control - the start of cut-ins and finishing of cut-outs can be easily and accurately located
- cuts are added to and stored in an edit decision list (EDL)
- ARexx port
- takes power from the joystick port

Manufacturer Hama, Germany | Date 1991 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port, joystick port |
- genlock
- composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
- automatic input recognition with priority for the Y/C signal
- adjustable chroma, contrast, luminance and white level (separate red, green, blue) of video and computer picture
- built in automatic color splitter for Deluxe View and DigiView
- independent fading of the computer and video image
- mixing (lap dissolve) and fade to black
- inversion of mix functions (keyhole effect)
- Y/C to RGB conversion even without Amiga
- copy protection decoding
- intergrated blackburst generator permits recording without incoming video signal
- automatic switching to genlock mode at the presence of a video signal
- bypass switch permits direct comparison of original and processed picture - does not affect the output video
- monitor selector switch permits display of either the mixed picture or the Amiga picture
- compatible with the A3000's display enhancer

Manufacturer Electronic Design / Hama, Germany | Date 1991 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- genlock
- composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
- automatic input recognition with priority for the Y/C signal
- color, contrast and luminance knobs for the source video signal
- fading and superimposing
- inverter switch: when off, video is projected onto the computer image where color 0 is - when set, video is shown at positions other than color 0
- built in blackburst generator - when no video source is connected, the genlock still can be used to record the computer image
- built in manual RGB splitter for monochrome digitisers
