Manufacturer Newtronic Technologies, Italy | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port |
- framegrabber and sound sampler
- grabs images in all resolutions of the AGA chip set including interlaced overscan screen modes
- works internally in 24 bits
- composite (RCA) and Y/C (4 pin Mini-DIN) inputs
- the input has to be selected manually by a switch
- brightness, contrast and saturation knobs
- connects to the parallel port
- RGB output connector for previewing
- 8 bit stereo sound sampler
- up to 59 kHz sampling rate
- digitises audio and video simultaneously
- stereo audio input (2× RCA connectors, headphone jack)
- plastic case
Manufacturer Newtronic Technologies, Italy | Date 1992 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- genlock
- composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
- the input has to be selected manually by a switch
- genlocked mode - colour zero is transparent, all others float above the live video backdrop
- inverse mode (keyhole effect) - colour zero is solid, all other colours produce holes
- Amiga passthrough mode - useful for recording Amiga graphics only
- RGB adjustment knobs for the incoming Amiga signal
- built in black burst generator for recording the computer image without receiving a video source
- metallic case
- external power supply
Manufacturer Newtronic Technologies, Italy | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- genlock
- composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
- the input has to be selected manually by a switch
- connecting both Y/C and composite signals simultaneously to the genlock results in garbled output
- genlocked mode - colour zero is transparent, all others float above the live video backdrop
- crossfade mode - either Amiga or video is shown solid, which can be crossfaded with the fader knob
- inverse mode (keyhole effect) - colour zero is solid, all other colours produce holes
- saturation knob for on the fly b/w to colour transitions
- adjustable RGB levels of the incoming Amiga signal
- adjustable RGB levels, horizontal and vertical sync of the outgoing video signal
- no bypass circuit - the RGB monitor passthrough can only display the same image as is being sent via the video out
- metallic case
Manufacturer Newtronic Technologies, Italy | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- genlock
- composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
- no transcoding between the signals
- connecting both Y/C and composite signals simultaneously is not supported
- fader knob - the fading range is limited
- two switches select between the operation modes:
- genlocked mode - colour zero is transparent, all others float above the live video backdrop
- inverse mode (keyhole effect) - colour zero is solid, all other colours produce holes
- video passthrough mode - Amiga graphics is hidden
- Amiga passthrough mode - useful for recording Amiga graphics only
- toggling the switches may cause loss of sync or loss of colour
- unable to handle extreme overscan effectively - the left side of the Amiga screen overlaps the video image
- plastic case - negligible shielding leads to cross interference from other video equipment
Manufacturer Newtronic Technologies, Italy | Date 1993 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- allows displaying specially formatted images in 262144 colours
- the images to be displayed must be 320 or 384 pixels wide and saved in the custom DAC format
- the supplied DAC conversion program accepts only IFF24 images
- the image is stored in Amiga Chip RAM
- attaches to the DB23 RGB port, the display is connected to the DAC 18
- VideoDAC18.dms
