  • jumper selects between the input connectors (only one at a time)
  • 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sample rates
  • for playback the card itself has only a 48 kHz oscillator, so all other rates have to be obtained from a device connected to either of the two inputs - eg. for 44.1 kHz playback a CD player has to be connected and turned on without playing any CD

    • Atari ST / TT emulation
    • two Atari ROM sockets
    • works with 68030 and 68020 + MMU processor cards (68010 or 68020 without MMU does not work)
    • uses the 32 bit RAM (copies the TOS into Fast RAM for speed increase)
    • with 8372A Agnus, 60 Hz display is possible
    • software flicker-fixer for older Agnus versions provides 35 Hz non-interlaced or 70 Hz interlaced
    • does not emulate the Atari MIDI interface

    realtime digitizer
  • 24 bit realtime video digitizing
  • Interleaved Frame Recording (IFR): allows to digitize full 30 fps digital video sequences to hard disk by making multiple passes of the recorded video
  • frame grab in 1/30th of a second, field grab in 1/60th of a second
  • digitized images are stored in YUVN format
  • 3 MB, 40 ns DRAM
  • two Composite and one S-VHS input - multiple video sources can be connected and selected by software
  • realtime colour controls
  • TBC is not required
  • VHI driver
