The New Media Graphics Super VideoWindows card was recently released.
It replaces our old VideoWindows card, which came out several months
before the IBM M/Motion card and had basically the same functionality
for the ISA bus.  The board is based on the Chips & Technologies
PC Video Chip, which they designed in cooperation with us.

The SVW card is designed for the ISA bus.  It offers three audio
and three video inputs, full yuv color, very fast framegrabbing
and blitting, and arbitrary placement and sizing of the video window.
It includes laserdisc control.  TV tuner control and hardware JPEG
compression can be purchased at additional cost.  The board is designed
to run under either Windows 3.0 or DOS, and the development package
includes full Windows source code.


SVW costs $695. (Yes, that is $695).
