Company 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

Company Individual Computers, Germany | Date 2010 | Amiga A1200 | Interface trapdoor slot |
- processor
- CPU: 68EC030 @ 28MHz or 68030 @ 42 / 56 MHz, PGA
- all processors are slightly overclocked to allow for a synchronous board design, the nominal speeds are 25 / 40 / 50 MHz
- no FPU option
- very fast burst timings: 2-1-1-1 (28 MHz), 3-1-1-1 (42 / 56 MHz)
- memory
- 64 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory autoconfig only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- memory clock: 56 MHz for 28/56 MHz versions, 42 MHz for 42 MHz CPU
- notes
- the first processor card to feature a -1-1-1 burst
- synchronous design
- no FPU option as this would have caused too much load on the data bus and would have increased burst timing
- RTC clock chip as well as battery have to be installed by the user, those were not included in the retail package to cut costs:
- socket for RTC chip OKI6242 (or compatible)
- battery socket for a CR1225 or CR1220 cell
- used CPUs are installed (scratches/dents possible)
- although socketed, the CPU is not intended to be changed/upgraded - a different logic would be needed for higher frequencies, and the warranty is lost if the sticker is removed
- no deactivation of the card possible
- after installation, the trapdoor doesn't fit (plastic parts of it have to be removed)
- jumper to map 1MB of the memory to address 0x00c00000
- works for all Kickstart versions
- results in a speed increase for Kickstart 3.0 as system functions will be located in FastRAM
- compatibility is increased for A500 software that expects RAM at this address
- the 56 MHz card is recommended to be operated without trapdoor due to excessive heat
Company Individual Computers, Germany | Date 2011 | Amiga A1200 | Interface trapdoor slot |
- processor
- CPU: 68EC030 @ 42MHz, 68030 @ 25 or 68030 @ 42 MHz, QFP (surface mounted Quad Flat Pack)
- 25 MHz option uses an underclocked 42 MHz processor
- option was introduced as some of the processors didn't run reliably at 42 MHz
- memory
- 64 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory clock: 83 MHz
- 1MB RAM is always mapped to address 0x00c00000
- 1MB RAM is reserved for FastROM option
- memory autoconfig of the remaining RAM only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- notes
- asynchronous design
- fast burst timing of 2-1-1-1
- OEM product for Vesalia
- first examples were delivered without heat sink which caused problems with certain configurations
- heat sinks were supplied free of charge by Vesalia to be installed by the user
- the cards also had a logic missing a startup delay, causing problems with slow hard disk drives

Company Individual Computers, Germany | Date 2014 | Amiga A1200 | Interface trapdoor slot |
- processor
- CPU: 68030 @ 40 MHz, PGA
- processor is soldered to the board
- FPU: 68881/68882 can be mounted, with synchronous or asynchronous clock (with additional oscillator)
- memory
- 128 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory clock: up to 80 MHz
- 1MB RAM is always mapped to address 0x00c00000
- 1MB RAM is reserved for FastROM option
- memory autoconfig of the remaining RAM only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- notes
- asynchronous design
- clock port header, to be used for the RTC module from Individual Computers (not suitable for other clock port expansions)
- card provides solder pads for FPU and FPU oscillator, although it is not available from manufacturer with equipped chip
- with FPU, the load on the data bus is increased - disabling burst mode is recommended to have a stable operation, thus reducing speed of the card
- the reduced speed resp. the need to disable the burst mode is the reason why the card has no socket and doesn't come with preinstalled FPU, as the manufacturer seeked for the fasted possible design
- installing an FPU voids warranty
- with the same CPU, the speed of the card is exactly the same as the predecessor ACA 1232

- genlock
- a broadcast quality genlock in a 19" rack mount enclosure
- composite, Y/C, RGB and Y/Cr/Cb modes
- the function of the video input and output connectors (Keyer 1-3, 6× BNC, 2× mini-DIN) depend on the video mode selected on the front panel:
Keyer 1 Keyer 2 Keyer 3 CVBS/YC mode CVBS Y C RGB mode G R B Y/Cr/Cb mode Y Cr Cb - composite, Y/C and RGBS outputs of the Amiga signal (5× BNC, 1× mini-DIN) - all are constantly available regardless of the selected video mode
- the Y/C keyer BNC terminals are parallel with the 4 pin mini-DIN Y/C multipoles - both outputs should not be used simultaneously
- key output (a standard non-composite waveform) for use with a video mixer (1× BNC)
- reference input with loop connector (2× BNC)
- must be provided with a stable accurate reference - direct videotape signals are not suitable
- cross fade with external background signal
- crossfade, key and fade to black via sliders on a separate remote control
- background mode: colour zero is set to the overlay colour, video is seen through
- foreground mode: the colour to be made transparent is controlled by a rotary switch
- adjustable key colour, subcarrier and horizontal phase
- can be used to encode the RGB output of a genlocked Harlequin graphics card, but it is not possible to obtain a signal mixed or keyed over a background video source using the VC3 internal keyers
- software control via the parallel port
- separate PAL and NTSC models
- internal power supply
- optional RGB-Link board
- enables an external linear RGB signal to be processed the same way as the Amiga signal
- input the RGB-Link board is via a DB25 connector which replaces the Amiga software control port - the Amiga computer control facility is lost
- switching between Amiga and external RGB is provided by the manual/computer switch on the front panel
- VC3C variant
- provides all functions of the VC3 except for the 3 channels of keying
- if fitted, the following ports are not available for use:
- keyer inputs

- gives Video Toaster users the choice between luma and chroma keying and is controlled completely from the Switcher
- procedure of operating with the Toaster:
- ChromaKey's video output goes into Toaster's Input 1 through a time base corrector
- the background video to be keyed over is connected to Input 2
- ChromaKey's key output is connected to either Input 3 or 4
- the switches and the slider is bypassed, the key effect is controlled by the Switcher
- in the Switcher set the Program Bus to Video 1, the Preview Bus to Video 2, and the Overlay Bus to Input 3 or 4 (where ChromaKey's key out is connected)
- select the Art Card effect and set the luminance key to white
- use the T-Bar to reveal the video background

- framegrabber
- realtime digitizing in 1/60th of a second - but transferring the image to the Amiga takes several seconds
- separate PAL and NTSC versions
- supported NTSC resolutions are 320×200, 384×240 (overscan), 320×400, 640×200, 640×400
- can digitize in colour (except in 640×400) in 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 (EHB) or 4096 (HAM) colours, in 16 grays or in definable pseudo colours
- uses its own built-in RAM to digitize
- external control knobs for intensity (brightness), hue (colour bias) and saturation
- composite input (RCA connector)
- connects to the parallel port (Centronics) and between the monitor and the RGB port (2× DB9)
- external power supply
- FrameGrabber 2.0 software
- pre-digitizing options:
- Over Sampling - digitize an image any specified number of times up to 50 and combine them into a composite (gives far better results than a single capture)
- Multiple Exposure - gives two samples
- Mirror Image
- Weighted - modifies the automatic contrasting performed
- Auto Zone - improves image quality in the center at the expense of the border areas
- these options can be combined in a variety of ways
- post-digitizing options include: edge detection, sharpening, averaging, photographic negative
- slow-scan mode - digitize a still object through the supplied colour wheel with a black and white camera
- supported file formats:
- IFF, IFF24, RAW
- DV21 (DigiView Gold's 21 bit format)
- Brush (for areas smaller than the screen)
- Palette (for saving only colour information)

- framegrabber
- grabs images in 256 gray levels (the original colour capable FrameGrabber can achieve 16 gray levels only) - suitable for capturing 24 bit images in three pass
- 24 bit colour images can be obtained with three pass digitizing using the supplied colour wheel
- cannot digitize in realtime - digitization takes 1/30th of a second and transferring the image to the Amiga plus displaying it takes 5 to 25 seconds
- uses its own built-in RAM to digitize and display 256 gray levels on the Amiga screen (framebuffer)
- supported resolutions are 320×200, 320×400, 384×240 (overscan), 384×480 (overscan)
- external control knobs for intensity and black level
- four composite inputs (RCA connectors) working in two ways:
- all inputs accept independent video signals, each of which can be either monochrome or colour composite (treated as monochrome) - the active input is selected via software
- the first three inputs accept colour video as separate red green and blue signals, and the fourth accepts the composite synchronization signal - in tandem with a colour RGB video camera, a colour image can be taken without colour wheel, in three pass
- connects to the parallel port (Centronics) and between the monitor and the RGB port (2× DB9)
- external power supply

- with a maximum input pixel clock of 28 MHz, all Amiga video modes up to Super Hires are supported and flicker-fixed (with the exception of the A2024 mode)
- picture refresh rate of at least 60 Hz for all screen modes, resulting in a maximum output pixel clock of 71 MHz
- 24 bit color support (16.7 million colors)
- supports interlaced and progressive scan input modes
- output modes are always progressive scan
- two output modes can be chosen:
- Async mode: output pixel clock of Amiga modes are multiplied 2.5 times
- Vertical Sync mode: exact double of Amiga mode pixel clock (eliminates tearing effects)
- clips only onto the Lisa chip on motherboard, no soldering required
- gets power and all signals from this chip
- sync signals are derived from the inter-chip communication of the AGA chipset
- HD15 VGA connector
- supports border blanking
- 16 megabyte SDRAM
- SDRAM is single-ported, thus reading and writing is decoupled by two FIFO buffers and a dual-port SDRAM controller running at 111 MHz
- only 12 MB are used, 4 MB stay free
- memory layout of 2048x2048 pixels (= maximum resolution)
- compatible to Genlocks
- no passthrough mode (all resolutions are flicker-fixed)
- FPGA based design with FlashROM
- Emergency Mode (emergency disk needed) in case a FlashROM update went wrong
- low heat dissipation due to 2.5V/3.3V design (only the voltage regulator is 5V)
- boot screen, shown for a pre-defined time - in case important information is displayed (e.g. Guru / Error Screen, Early Startup Menu), this time is reduced
- no driver needed, however additional screenmodes are supported:
- HighGFX (1024×786)
- HD720 (1280×720)
- Indivision AGA 1200
- cutouts in the board allow installation of other internal A1200 components like IDE-Fix Express and the Lyra 1200 keyboard adaptor - tight design, so boards may touch on certain A1200 board revisions
- first revision boards were prone to snapping from the Lisa socket, so later revisions had the socket on the Indivision board machine finished
- Indivision AGA 4000
- this is a follow-up design to the Indivision AGA 1200, offering the same features while having a different board layout to fit in A4000D and CD32
- 10nF capacitors have been added to the PLLs
- two (instead of one) TTL drivers for the VGA Sync wires
- prototype board is white, the final version has a blue PCB

- Indivision AGA MK2cr 1200 / A4000T (2013)
- cost reduced version:
- the components from the auxiliary PCB were moved to the Indivision board
- custom made DVI-I connector (molded type) connects to the board
- doesn't fit into the A4000T without modification: due to the changed connector for the DVI ouput, the board interferes with the electrolytic capacitor CE164C in the A4000T - this has to be replaced by a lower profile ceramic type to be able to fit the board
- custom tooling for the socket pins results in a firmer hold on the Lisa chip

- if a Catweasel is installed Kylwalda allows both controllers to share access to the same drive, permitting double-speed HD access through Catweasel, yet preserving access to protected disks through Paula
- switches between controllers automatically, depending on which recognizes the format
- no extra software is needed
- for two internal floppy drives two Kylwaldas have to be used
- three 34 pin floppy connectors (from motherboard, from Catweasel, to floppy drive)
- two 4 pin floppy power connectors (from power supply, to floppy drive)
- does not work with standard Amiga floppy drives, neither DD nor twin-speed HD variants
- can also integrate an ISA Catweasel with a PC floppy controller

- flicker fixer
- doubles the horizontal frequency of all 15 kHz screen modes to 31.5 kHz - other screen modes are passed through
- removes flicker of interlaced screens
- connects externally to the 23 pin RGB port
- being an external unit, it has to encode the RGB signal, flicker fix, split to RGB and sync again - this reduces the quality of the video signal
- sync delay adjustment potentiometer
- claimed to be compatible with the Video Toaster and all genlocks, but it's not in many cases - the genlocked video signal is passed through without scandoubling
- scandoubled screens are much draker than passthroughed screens
- high power consumption - the screen may go darker when the floppy drive is accessed

Company Electronic Design, Germany | Date 1994 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port, serial 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
- independent fading of the computer and video image
- fade to black
- manual fading - the faders serve to set the degree of blending
- 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

- USB interface
- provides two USB ports
- isp1763 USB host controller chip
- compatible to USB 1.1 and 2.0 specifications
- supports USB 2.0 highspeed mode (480 Mpbs)
- card features clock port and proprietary X-Surf 100 expansion connectors
- two expansion variants exist that differ with regard to the connection options and the scope of delivery:
- Clock Port Model
- both connectors active
- shipped with earthing cable, floppy power cable, plastic cover and bracket with two USB connectors
- more expensive than the other variant as the development effort was much higher due to the idiosyncrasies of the clock port
- X-Surf 100 Model
- clock port connector disabled, expansion is only usable on the X-Surf 100
- bare board with no protective cover or USB port bracket
- two floppy power connectors on the card to supply power to the USB ports - the second port can be used for the floppy, thus an Y cable is not needed
- this is only needed when used on a clock port (clock port doesn't provide enough power)
- if power hungry devices are used, it is also recommended when installed on the X-Surf
- supplies up to 1.5 ampere per USB port
- only supports PIO (Programmed I/O) operation (no DMA), thus having higher load on the CPU during transfers
- typical data rates: 7.5 MB/s (Zorro III), 2.5 MB/s (Zorro II), 700 kByte/s (Clock Port)
- notes
- when installed on the X-Surf, their external USB ports are activated - the internal ports of the RapidRoad can only be used if the respective external port stays empty
- white status LED on board indicates proper connection
- benefits from the faster secondary clock port on the A604n
- power on the USB ports is only switched on upon start of USB stack, this conformes to USB specification
- shipped with Poseidon 4.5 OEM USB stack
- requires at least 68020 processor, 2.5MB free FastRAM, MUI, OS3.0
- driver for e.g. USB mouse and keyboard (HID devices), mass storage, parallel interface (printers) and USB-serial bridges
