It is compatible with any VGA display adaptor and does not require a feature connector. The video local frame buffer is designed to be accessed by the host CPU with no wait state. It captures CD quality stereo sound in 8- or 16-bit and up to 44.1KHz from any audio source and also provides OPL3 FM synthesiser feature for Sound Blaster game compatible and MIDI sound file output to a speaker. It costs $400 and comes bundled with Microsoft’s Video for Windows, Xing’s Picture Prowler Photo Database software, Sound Impression for Audio editing and Jovian Digital TV software for Windows and MS-DOS to preview and capture video images and save them to different file formats. Drivers for Windows Multimedia are also included.
