parallel port, joystick port
video edit controller
receives commands from the Amiga through the parallel port and converts them to serial data for the 7 pin mini-DIN player and recorder remote ports
the video player must have an edit terminal, either 5 pin Edit (Panasonic), Control-L, Remote or LANC (Sony)
the video recorder is controlled through its infra-red port, meaning:
it cannot be connected in the same manner as the player
single-frame accuracy can never be achieved, just &plusminus;4 frames
the communication is one way, the Amiga does not receive any feedback from the recorder - any fluctuation in the deck's mechanism or skipping of the control track is not compensated for or spotted by the Amiga
to keep frame drifting to a minimum, the software offers an auxiliary frame counter which lets the user compensate for the pre-roll and post-roll of both decks
jog shuttle control - the start of cut-ins and finishing of cut-outs can be easily and accurately located
cuts are added to and stored in an edit decision list (EDL)

RGB port, parallel port
genlock
a broadcast quality genlock in a 19" rack mount enclosure
composite, Y/C, RGB and Y/Cr/Cb modes
the function of the video input and output connectors (Keyer 1-3, 6× BNC, 2× mini-DIN) depend on the video mode selected on the front panel:
Keyer 1 Keyer 2 Keyer 3
CVBS/YC mode CVBS Y C
RGB mode G R B
Y/Cr/Cb mode Y Cr Cb
composite, Y/C and RGBS outputs of the Amiga signal (5× BNC, 1× mini-DIN) - all are constantly available regardless of the selected video mode
the Y/C keyer BNC terminals are parallel with the 4 pin mini-DIN Y/C multipoles - both outputs should not be used simultaneously
key output (a standard non-composite waveform) for use with a video mixer (1× BNC)
reference input with loop connector (2× BNC)
must be provided with a stable accurate reference - direct videotape signals are not suitable
cross fade with external background signal
crossfade, key and fade to black via sliders on a separate remote control
background mode: colour zero is set to the overlay colour, video is seen through
foreground mode: the colour to be made transparent is controlled by a rotary switch
adjustable key colour, subcarrier and horizontal phase
can be used to encode the RGB output of a genlocked Harlequin graphics card, but it is not possible to obtain a signal mixed or keyed over a background video source using the VC3 internal keyers
software control via the parallel port
separate PAL and NTSC models
internal power supply
optional RGB-Link board
enables an external linear RGB signal to be processed the same way as the Amiga signal
input the RGB-Link board is via a DB25 connector which replaces the Amiga software control port - the Amiga computer control facility is lost
switching between Amiga and external RGB is provided by the manual/computer switch on the front panel

a 5×12 cm board without case connecting to the external floppy disk connector
two sockets for Atari ROMs (delivered with TOS 1.2)
up to eight Atari environments can run at one time
AmigaOS and TOS run exclusively, not parallel, but the user can switch between them anytime
the special "Overtake" mode removes AmigaOS, running only TOS
video modes:
640×400 - 736×568 (HighRes), monochrome
640×200 - 736×284 (MedRes), 4 colours
320×200 - 368×284 (LowRes), 16 colours
by reducing the vertical resolution, up to 70 Hz is possible
does not support ECS modes
with Fat Agnus 8372A, either PAL or NTSC can be used
does not simulate the Atari hardware registers
programs hitting the hardware do not run
copy protected software and games generally do not work
a patch is supplied to run important software like Signum 2, TurboC 2.0 or Stad
hard disk support needs special drivers - hardfiles are not supported, the emulation requires dedicated Atari partitions
cannot read the special hyperformatted (>720 kB) floppy disks
provides up to two RAM disks
although the TOS does not support other than the 68000 processor, the emulation can run programs faster with later processors
does not emulate the Atari MIDI interface

the information is encoded into special Amiga display screens that DCTV recognises by a signature in the upper-left corner
these screens contain the digitised and compressed form of the analogue waveform data required to create the composite display
the resulting composite image quality is far better and much worse than a normal Amiga RGB display:
for pictures that contain a lot of colour changes (like photographic materials) the quality is as good as everyday television
in case of pictures with a lot of detail (like text) the display is blurry
uses the Amiga RAM as framebuffer - requires at least 1 MB of memory for functioning
supports resolutions from 640×200 to 736×482/566 (NTSC/PAL) in 24 bit
slow scan video digitiser - captures a still video frame in 6 to 10 seconds
the parallel port is used for sending digitised images to the Amiga
composite (RCA) input and output
DB23 RGB connector passthrough for connecting two monitors at the same time - one for the Amiga (RGB) and one for the DCTV (composite)
although DCTV does not interfere with normal genlock operation, its output cannot be fed into a genlock without the DCTV RGB Converter

allows DCTV to output its display onto an RGB monitor instead of composite
allows a genlock to superimpose the DCTV picture over live video
allows combining DCTV and standard Amiga screen modes in presentations

flicker fixer
doubles the horizontal frequency of all 15 kHz screen modes to 31.5 kHz - other screen modes are passed through
removes flicker of interlaced screens
connects externally to the 23 pin RGB port
being an external unit, it has to encode the RGB signal, flicker fix, split to RGB and sync again - this reduces the quality of the video signal
sync delay adjustment potentiometer
claimed to be compatible with the Video Toaster and all genlocks, but it's not in many cases - the genlocked video signal is passed through without scandoubling
