The MicroEye Video-Output Board (ISA, MCA) causes your PC to behave like a video camera: You can transfer VGA images or animations in PAL standard to a video recorder, screen projector, Video-Mixer or a color television. You can also transfer single frames of professional 24-Bit animations (3D-Studio) to a U-Matic video recorder. By adding sound, you can create professional animations, simulations, video effects, demos, presentations and videos for use as material in training programs. The MicroEye Video-Output Board supports all software packages in EGA, VGA (640x480) and MCGA (320x200) in up to 256 colors. Standalone Mode The MicroEye Video-Output Board connects with the Feature Connector of the graphics card in the PC. The MicroEye Video-Output Board changes all the image information displayed on the PC monitor into a PAL signal, which you can record, for example, with a video recorder. This allows you to record single graphics, demonstrations or complete computer animations, e.g., from Autodesk Animator, Animator Pro or 3D Studio. Overlay Mode The MicroEye Video-Output Board also has an extra PAL video port for video cameras, camcorders, video recorders, CD players or other PAL video sources. In Overlay mode, the MicroEye Video-Output Board "converts" video input signals (Genlock) and overlays them with VGA images. One of the 16 Grundcolors of the VGA signal can be defined as transparent, e.g., the color of the background. Using this technique, you can animate live videos, overlay them with graphics and give them titles.
