This is NOT a product annoucement!

Enhancement Systems, a division of Clearpoint, has developed a turn key
imaging system for the hair and beauty industry built around an A2000.  Since
nothing existed, we designed our own 24 bit real time digitizer to these specs:

	512 x 512 pixel resolution.
	2,4,8x hardware zoom register.
	horozontal and vertical pan registers.
	genlock register for Amiga only output, digitizer only output or
		Amiga output overlayed on top of digitizer output.
	live image mode.
	frame capture at 1/30 sec (two fields captured at 1/60 sec each).
	auto configures on Amiga bus.
	RGB input only on 9 pin D-sub!
	RGB output only on 9 pin D-sub!
	digitizer supplies external sync for camera.

This is a basic board for our system with basic display and capture software!
I would like to convince my compnay to provide it as a stand alone product
for the Amiga community but they would like me to prove that a market exists.
My question is, would anyone purchase this board as is or would other mods be
necessary?  If modifications are required, what do you folks want?  Please
be reasonable with answers to this last question since I can't justify a 
product that would need years of hardware modifications before going to market.
Please don't ask about price or availability since neither has been determined.
