It's good for pre-AGA Amigas without video cards, IMHO.  Animations & stills are simply stunning due to the range of colors available.  It was probably the cheapest way at the time to add more colors than unexpanded pre-AGA Amigas offered, and you didn't need a video slot to use it, either.

If you can't find the original Digital Creations (now Play) drivers, send me an e-mail.

Capture is slow and not very clear.  I'd guess it would also depend on the video camera source.

There is also a DCTV RGB Converter so that it could be hooked up to a genlock.  This was sold seperately.  It hooks in between the pass-through of the DCTV and the genlock.  I've got all 3, the DCTV, the RGB Converter, & the SuperGen SX genlock.
