I have also here on storage a strange card by Parallax, which is both
24bit (but I could get it to run only on solaris 2.5, the drivers on 2.6
showed some artifacts, but I confirmed working) plus video acquisition.
It is a double-board, but vertically stacked, so it uses only one sbus
slot.I could watch TV through a tuner inside a window, IIRC, like I did
on the Apple Quadra AV.
It has 4 large LSI chips plus a custom hardware JPEG codec.
Completely unrelated to your question: I have this little pet project where I collect the PROMs for the various SUN frame buffers and among other things extract their logos. See here if you’re interested:
I don’t think I have the card you mentioned. Would you be willing to contribute? The git repository contains a howto document that describes the process - it is very simple of you have a SunOS/Solaris install or a serial connection.
Cheers,
Malte
