- The PicassoII as standard, does not output a signal suitable for video work
- AFAIK, however an extra add on for the PicassoII called the "Pablo", adds
- two extra video outputs which are TV and video compatible. At least that is
- what is stated in a "Blittersoft" advert in this months "Amiga Computing"
- magazine ( can I get any more advertising in this article ? ;-). Whether this
- will suit your purposes I do not know ? However you could give Blittersoft
- a ring ( they sell both PicassoII and Pablo add on ), they may be able to
- help ?

- Blittersoft are are based in Milton Keynes, Bucks.
-
- I hope those numbers are right, they are straight out of the magazine.
-
- As for other cards, I could not say, the only reason I can comment on the
- Picasso, is that I have been looking to buy one for a while now.
-
- BTW, Blittersoft are not paying me for this :-)
