Since the VISTA (TM) is software configurable it actually supports
many other resolutions besides those above.  Those are just the 'standards'
that are supported.  A good programmer should be able to make this board
jump through hoops.  Other possible resolutions are: 2048 x 2048 at 8-bits,
1024 x 800 at 32-bits (24bits color and 8bits of overlay).  The board
can be either memory mapped or LUT based.  The captured RGB signals can be
routed through input LUT's before going into the memory map.

There are other features besides but you get the idea...  A pretty incredible
board to plop into your AT.
