| Hello!
Recently it seems to me that this main board product is similar to Vamp4 standalone design :
EXTERNAL LINK
Could encode camera captured video through DIGITAL-VIDEO onboard RX (interface): is it true? And /in extenso/ more than just traditional interlace and TV video standard compatibility.
Note that, I’m not affiliated to Terasic.
Best wishes Amiga and Vamp4 plain old all-DMA Amiga design... but new HDL abstract code! and new all-in-one single chip! (CPU/audio&video chipset/network) like a « full-featured » SoC ; even more advanced than traditional so-called SoC ; excepted as for the NXP P1022 !!

| Hello!
You’re right !
To be clear, is there a way to plug a video monitor to the board?
The specs & interface indicates that there is only? video input (RX on schematic) but one can connect a touch panel, they said!

There will never be an ASIC version (except for X-project I suppose) because Vamp4 is « classified » retro-gaming or vintage ; never say never but in the case of ASIC, there ((could)) be intellectual property infringement.
« Could » because patent (brevet of invention) are exhausted in European property after 25 years but not in USA patents as far as I know they might be continuated - never say never to a lawyer !!

| As far as I am aware, the Apollo core is a completely new implementation its not a copy of other intellectual property. The 68080 core is code compatible not a copy of a 68K chip, same for the chipset implementation in the V3 core, its only functionally compatible with OCS/ECS/AGA not a copy of it. So there shouldnt be any issues with infringement.

| Good evening,
So the Amiga was known for video processing, here is what’s lacking for digital video editing :EXTERNAL LINK EXTERNAL LINK I’ m not affiliated with digilent, nor Xilinx : it is just an example of.
