NuBus AV card from Radius.

With VideoVision Studio, you can record full-screen, full-motion, 60 field-per-second, digital video input and output to and from your hard disk. VideoVision Studio delivers unsurpassed real-time hardware-accelerated JPEG compression and decompression of each individual video frame, so you can perform non-linear, frame-accurate digital video editing. VideoVision Studio also digitizes stereo audio simultaneously and stores it with the video for easier input and editing.

A high-quality video digitizing and display board that adds video capabilities to non-AV Macintosh models. It can be used to capture video to a QuickTime movie. The VideoVision Studio board is a bundle of the VideoVision board with a JPEG hardware compression expansion board, making it possible to capture and playback full screen video (640 x 480 at 30 fps).

You must have the hardware compression board to view and play these movies at 30 frames per second, but Radius has released VideoVision SoftStudio, a software codec that enables you to open and edit VideoVision movies on equipment that doesn't have the VideoVision board installed.

The VideoVision Studio is a step up from the built-in video digitizing hardware, because it adds the JPEG hardware compression, and can output NTSC video. The quality, however, does not quite match the more expensive boards, such as Data Translations Media 100 or Truevision Targa 2000, and audio is only 8-bit (unless you use the internal audio of an AV Macintosh or Power Macintosh).
