AdSpeed and DCTV
7 messages in this thread
Does Anyone know about the AdSpeed chip by ICD? I'm looking for an
inexpensive way to speed up programs like MathVision, Imagine, etc.. Also,
jsut used DCTV at the dealer here today – it seems to offer things that
I've been wanting digiview to do. The savings in time is very attractive –
a 3 to 8 second grab is pretty good, I think. Anyone else use this box
yet? I've been told that they'll have a RGB 24 bit out, or maybe a
pass-through? I don't want to start rumors about it, though. Replys
appreciated…
Check out the Amiga User Forum. They've had a running message thread for
about a week now discussing the AdSpeed accelarator. They even have had
someone from ICD (the manufacturer) answering questions. From all I've
heard, it is good product that gives you appoximately twice the processing
speed in most cases. I'm thinking of investing in one myself.

I'll check out the forum but it's a little late – I've been busy the last
few weeks and unable to log on – I just wnet ahead and ordered Adspeed and
the 1 meg Agnus.

Let me know how the Adspeed works. I'm considering it myself once I get a
few other hardware purchases made. BTW, do you have a 500 or 2000?

DCTV will NEVER have true 24 bit output, it works with NTSC and to
paraphrase a recent article in Amazing computing-NTSC has a 4 million color
range on a good day with no wind- and -NTSC can only display 80 colors per
line. (Amazing Computing Vol 6 No. 3 March 91 page 60).

I'll look up that article – thanks for the input.
