Description
The Sunrise Video9000 is an add-on board for the Sunrise GFX9000, that allows you to digitize/superimpose on MSX2/2+/Turbo-R in the high-resolution of the GFX9000 video-modes. It was developed by Koen van Hartingsveldt of Sunrise.
If you wanted to order a Video9000, you had to send your GFX9000 to Sunrise, where they soldered the board on the GFX9000. The new card (including Video9000) was then be placed into a new box that includes the connectors and colour/contrast regulators. This new cartridge needs to be connected to the MSX via a primary slot then.
With this digitizer you can
- grab pictures from a video in 32768 colors, superimpose parts of it with animations and titles upon video images, mix your own creations with these video images, etc.
- switch from the MSX2/2+/turboR screen to the GFX9000 screen and vice versa just by one simple command.
- save directly (without graphic conversion programs) your images in several formats like: BMP, the known PC format, PIC or VGF (that can be showed with any GFX9000). And all this in several resolutions (all in 32768 colors): 512x424 interlaced, 384x290 overscan, etc.
The Video9000 board includes a lot of connectors (inputs and outputs). It is possible to digitize images from a RGB source (for example, a MSX computer or a VCR with RGB output), CVBS (from a VCR, videocamera, computer, ...) and S-VHS (from some video cameras). The output is RGB.
