Audio and video products

Computer Concepts sells a wide range of audio and video add-ons for Acorn machines. By investing in the Acorn hardware specialist Wild Vision in 1992, Computer Concepts greatly improved the diversity of this range, and now offers the following products:

• AudioWorks is a comprehensive sample-editing software package.
• Eidoscope is a powerful and affordable video-editing software package.
• The Movie Magic MPEG card allows MPEG movies from Video CDs or other sources to be played back at VHS quality or better, with CD-quality stereo soundtracks.
• The TV Tuner allows TV signals to be decoded without the need for a VCR and (optionally) for teletext to be displayed directly on the Desktop.
• The Chroma-Genlock allows you to overlay computer graphics over a video signal, for instance to create video titles or presentations.
• The GreyHawk card allows you to digitse a video image at up to 256 grey levels.
• The Hawk card is similar to the GreyHawk, but allows colour images to be grabbed and saved as 8-bit sprites.
• The MIDI Max card is a stand-alone MIDI expansion card, allowing your computer to connect to a wide variety of musical equipment, and RISC OS applications to play MIDI files using it.
• The Lark card is a 16-bit audio sampling and playback card, with full MIDI capabilities built in.
• The ScanLight software offers extensive post-processing operations on scanned and digitised greyscale images. The software is not available separately, but is provided with all Computer Concepts scanners and the GreyHawk card.
