- VDOmachines, Release 4.0
- ========================
- 09. November 1995
-
- The VDOmachines collection is the complete video integration for
- NEXTSTEP. Due to the increased number of boards we decided to
- reduce the license handling and will now only license the driver.
- All applications can be used, as long as they are supported for
- the certain board.
-

- Boards
- ======
- SM II: Screen Machine II - does 4:2:2 full quality video resolution
- for hq full frame grabbing. Best board for professional video image
- digitization. PAL, SECAM, NTSC, S-VHS
-
- SMII^2: Screen Machine II Rev. 2 - just a new hardware revision of
- the Screen Machine II.
-
- MM: Movie Machine - mainly distributed in Europe. Supports video in,
- audio out (tuner), simple frame grabbing and has a video text decoder.
- The main feature is the integrated TV-tuner. (PAL, NTSC) - 4:1:1
-
- MM Pro: Movie Machine PRO - nearly the same as the Movie Machine, but
- instead of a video text decoder it is equipped with a video output.
- With the software MMStudio it may even be used for simple online
- mixing of the two (third is the internal TV-tuner) video inputs.
-
- MM II: Movie Machine II - nearly the same as the Movie Machine PRO,
- but has a video text decoder as well as a video output. This board
- is again a 4:2:2 digitizer, but only for a half frame. Another argu-
- ment is: it supports S-VHS inputs AND outputs!
- With the software MMStudio it may even be used for simple online
- mixing of the two (third is the internal TV-tuner) video inputs.
