Excerpted from Video Review, August 1988, P. 58

"...the board lets you capture a full 1/30-of-a-second frame and then edit,
crop or otherwise process the image.  The board captures the frame in a 
640 X 480 pixel array, wherein you can add text or graphics, change colors,
combine new images, zoom/pan/scroll images and print hard copies of your
work.  The board can interface with a composite video monitor, an RS-170
RGB-capable monitor or the Mac II's own screen, and it includes a genlock 
output.
