[ continuation ] 16,777,216 colors (24-bits per pixel). Video outputs: 15-pin high-density DSUB "BGA-like connector for connecting standard monitors. Red: 0.7V p-p Green: 0.7V p-p or with active (programmable) Composite Sync 5V p-p. Blue: 0.7V p-p H-Sync: Low/High Active 5Vp-p. Can also be programmed to output composite sync on this connector. V-Sync: Low/High Active 5V p-p Video inputs: SMB connector for external composite video (or blackburst) input allowing the board's output video to be synchronised with an external video signal. Output control conn. Mini-DIN connector which includes a +5V line (limited to 300ms), and three external TTL level handshake (input/output) signals which can be programmatically conrolled by the EGS libraries. The name of these signals are: NextPicReq, NextPickAck, and UnitActiv. The UnitActiv signal is intended to be used to control an external monitor switch box which would allow a single monitor to be used for both the Amiga's standard RGB output and the EGS-110/24 RGB output. Software interface: Via the bundled EGS libraries or directly through Commodore's graphics libraries (AmigaDOS version 2.04/37.175 or later). Software included: * Six EGS libraries with more than 220 functions, including more than 80 EGS Intuition and Gfx commands. EGS library calls are generally an extension of Commodore's Intuition and Graphics libraries and will immediately appear "familiar" to Amiga programmers * Workbench driver for rerouting existing workbench application calls to the EGS libraries. * Comprehensive Preference settings program and tools.
