Overview:	The HETVIO2 is a video I/O module that allows the concurrent acquisition and display of multiple images, while maximising the bandwidth available for C44 access to the video data. Software programmable video capture parameters allow the flexible capturing of virtually any analogue monochrome video signal. Four-to-one software multiplexing of the camera source allows the use of multiple cameras. A novel "rotating" capture mode allows successive images to be automatically captured into the next 512x512 quadrant of the framestore, allowing double buffering techniques to be used with near zero overheads. Display is provided by a software programmable pixel clock, timing generator and RAMDAC, allowing the captured image, the processed image or even both to be displayed in a format that is independent from the capture format. Up to 4 overlay planes can be used for the addition of colour markers and text to the displayed image. A hardware cursor avoids the need to erase and redraw the cursor shape. The choice of access modes for the framestore allow for the efficient processing of the video data (one pixel per C44 word) and the efficient copying and storage of the data (4 pixels per C44 word).
