. The PVA 3000 is an A3000 board that fits in the video/Zorro inline slot of the A3000. An adaptor is available for the A2000. The spec sheet claims composite, s-vhs (y/c), 31 KHz & 15.7 KHz output. Picture-in-Picture from an RGB source; analog and digital genlocks; real-time frame grab; flicker-fixer (RGB outs only); and double buffered 12-bit (4096 color) animation. Price is $1,995 and GVP said middle August for shipments. Betas have shipped to developers and the two dealers taking orders (for $1,995) agreed with August (one said the 26th). I uploaded an LZH file called AMEXPO.LZH (or something similar) and as soon as it clears you can read booth-by-booth descriptions of the Expo. That GVP board was nice, and on display (board itself and also working) in a couple of booths. It ships with PVA aware versions of Caligari, Scala and Macro Paint.
