Question about GVP Flicker Fixer
« on: November 19, 2009, 04:36:24 PM »
I have a GVP brand Flicker Fixer (w/VGA out) in my Amiga 2000.  Works great, but I cannot find any information on it.

One big card says:
GREAT VALLEY PRODUCTS
A3000-FYE/IV24 REV. 5

The little board on the ribbon says:
GREAT VALLEY PRODUCTS
PVA/FYE A2000
Video Adapter Board REV.2

That is the IV24 videoboard. It's not just a flicker fixer (which it indeed also do) but a video editing card.

The big card is an impact vision 24, rev 5, which is designed for the 3000 - which has a video slot in line with zorro slot.  The smaller card is for the 2000 only and I guess plugs into the video slot on the other side.

it acts as a frame grabber, frame buffer and should be able to perform as a limted RTG card if you can find the EGS drivers for it.

Nice piece of kit :)
