- IMHO it is the best genlock for the amiga, as a graphics board it's
- barely usable. There are two versions of it, one for Zorro II and
- one for Zorro III and the first one does NOT correctly display all
- AGA graphics (everything above 32 colors is simply stripped so
- f.e. in a smooth color transition in 256 colors you see stripes).
- The Zorro III version should correctly display all AGA resolutions
- including HAM-8.

- MyLAD sux (if you ask me, I have only started it once and then tossed
- it immediately). The only thing we use the IV-24 for is the genlocking
- capabilities and the YUV output. Unfortunatelly we're currently forced
- to use it in a television production environment but we would toss
- it immediately for our PC with a Matrox board installed if I'd finally
- get the programmer developer kit for the Matrox :(

- > Is it really DVE style effects with scale and rotate?
-
- The IV24 is a slow framebuffer so I don't think any DVE effects are
- possible (get a PC with a Matrox for that).
