that'll be the professional digital editing suite card. Think of a card
that can do ANY digital effect on 3 incoming images and you're getting
closer. It usualy ships in a BIG box with a G450 included (for display,
dualhead etc)

I've had the good fortune of being able to use this card for a week...and
wow! it makes the videotoaster look decidedly old and weak.

I wonder if its not just for the basic gfx cards that Amiga have joined up
with Matrox for...after all, the Amigas highpoint was its video stuff
in the pro-areas.....by not isolating yourself to the mundane (a gfx card)
but to the other tools (eg video editing/effects cards) you give yourself
one helluva advantage
