Vine Micros Ltd also launched Coriovision for the multimedia market. It is a personal computer-based desktop video unit that enables the user to edit video images on a personal computer by mixing two separate video sources. The built in video controller enables the user to accurately cue the video images and mix and save the results on the personal computer. To do this the user has a Windows display on the computer monitor on which there is a visual display of where one video clip starts and the second continues, which is in the form of a time line. It offers a series of effects including fade and panning and also digital effects such as the tumble and roll between the two video sources. The Gemlock overlay and Chromakey features enable computer generated images or text to be superimposed onto videos. It has a 24-bit Frame Grabber that will digitise video frames and then save the images to disk. Specifications include a 16-bit full length AT board, Super VGA supporting up to 1,024 by 768 in 16.7m colours and four audio inputs, two for the video sources, and auxiliary source and a microphone source. It will be available in August at #1,000, the company said.
