Can anyone answer the following:
1) Is this the same as a "frame grabber"?
2) What type of TV source is required? VCR? Video camera? Videodisc player?
3) Before I do the "hold" do I see the video picture on the Amiga's monitor?
4) What is the resolution of the held picture? 640X400? Less?
5) How long does it take to grab the picture?  Can I cleanly extract a
   single frame from motion video?
6) Do Amiga characters and graphics overlay the held frame without modifying
   it?
7) Does the bare Amiga have this capability?  If not, how much extra will it
   cost (aside from the video source)?
and finally,
8) Are user manuals/documentation/hardware manuals for Amiga available separ-
   ately?  I assume it's easier to turn up printing presses than production
   lines.
