According to commodores full press briefing kit, in Hannover, the Videobox
is a PAL system. The press briefing states … "Videobox is the first
system to include digitizing and genlocking in one unite. A fed-in video
signal and an available computer image can be merged so the computer image
will be superimposed over the video signal. A certain color of the computer
image – usually the background color- will become transparant making the
video image visible only in the areas of that color. The result of this
overlaying process is visible on the monitor but can also be transmitted to
a tv or vcr system.
Its important to note that all products mentioned in the press briefing,
are geared toward the EUROPEAN market, and probably wont make it over here
for months, if not longer. Any PAL oriented technology would be useless
here, and unless Commodore can convert it to NTSC standard, I would suppose
that a videobox would be a while in coming. Of course, it COULD be a
variation of the NYIT box, but I have no idea.
I invite speculation on the "previewed" High res color graphics card.
Anyone know if this is the TARGA board, adapted to amiga, or something of
Commodores on concoction???
