The photo shows what can be the name/type of Zorro card?
What card is it?
Does anyone know?

Thanks!

Oo, that is an unusual one. Have you checked the hardware (http://bboah.de) databases (http://amiga.resource.cx)?

:)
I looked through the 2 site ... I can not find: (

Looks like it has an RCA out and two DB9 connectors? Strange it would have a blank ISA cutout too. What is it do you think? A serial board or game controller board for use with the Bridgeboard? I wonder what the RCA out does. Monochrome video or audio output? Maybe it's a game controller AND sound card...

A serial board or game controller board for use with the Bridgeboard?
Shouldn't be a game controller board - PC joysticks are 15-pin D-shells and a completely different standard. Might be serial, though, but I dunno what the RCA connector would be in that case. If we had a higher-resolution photo we could check some of the IC numbers and get a better idea - dh1, do you have a better photo?
I'd almost guess it's some kind of system-on-a-card with Atari-style joystick ports and composite video out, particularily with the sheer number of ICs present, but the only cards like that I can find on amiga.resource.cx are Atari ST emulators, and none of the listed boards look anything like that...huh, now I'm really curious.

An auction website on the card, Hungary. I try to ask for a better and more pictures from the owner!

Maybe its some sort of Time Base Corrector? It looks more like a video type card.

Yep, I think that JimS is right! We can see SONY IC Chips!!! (frame controller???)
-
My guess is a video card too. Maybe a framegrabber or genlock type device. I'm guessing the top "black cube" at the connector end above the RCA jack is an S-Video connector. The RCA jack would be your genlocked or time base corrected composite video.
The two DB-9 connectors would be the passthrough for the Amiga's RGB video, I'm guessing (although you would need that silver adaptor that Commodore made on your RGB port if you were using this thing on anything but A2000 with a flickerfixer or an A3000).

Looks very video-ish to me, too. With the exact types of the Sony (possibly memory chips of some kind) and the ITT(?) chips it's probably easy to make a good guess. A TBC with RGB in/out, composite out (monitor) and external clock input (topmost port) is what comes to mind.

Hi all!
Two new picture!

The owner said (german): "Eine Genlockkarte (this is a A2300 genlock), eine Schnittstellenkarte und eine Festplatte sind noch eingebaut."
So this is a "Schnittstellenkarte". :)
Does anybody have idea after all? :)
Thanks!
-
Schnittstellenkarte = interface board (whatever for)
Festplatte = harddrive
Sony CXK 1206 is a video field memory array for a 4 bit field. 6x 1206 = 24 bit color
ITT UVC3130 is a high speed A/D-D/A converter - one per RGB channel.
This is a TBC for sure.
The bottom (video) slot holds the genlock, can't actually make out any 'interface board'...
-
It is not an A2300.
Those Sony CXK1206 chips are non volatile memory
Those big chips are UVC3130, are high speed A/D D/A converters
-
No it's not A2300's card!
It was also included in the package.
So, this card is not 2300!
This is the 2300 ...

The search interface card is a card. But what? :)
I do not know ... What can I use?
Excuse me if something is not understandable!
My english is not perfect! :)
Thanks!
-
I'm beginning to wonder if this is some sort of non-linear video editing thing, like the Flyer. Or perhaps an animation playback system like the Personal Animation Recorder.
-
No it's not A2300's card!
It was also included in the package.
So, this card is not 2300!
Besides, doesn't the 2300 go in the A2000's video slot (i.e. not a Zorro card at all)?
-
no, its not dsp par nor its tbc, i have both, although they look not that different.
-
My guess is that it's some sort of title / effects generator and / or keyer which isn't based on the Amiga's video. It has a 9 pin in, a 9 pin out, four sets of three finely adjustable potentiometers, and three matching DA/AD chips, one for each color in a component signal, plus a hefty amount of adjustable clock circuitry.

Hi All!
A Amiga 4000 installed on the card.
Manufacturer: 16464
Product: 16
I can not find such a manufacturer ID number.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
