I haven't heard of either of them, but I do own one of the Vidi series cards... I
believe it's called Vidi-16. There is a Vidi-32 version too (or were that Vidi-8 and
Vidi-16.. urgh! I;m sure someone will correct me :) ). Both are for capturing images from
TV, but I could never get Vidi-16 to work properly with my A600 (with 2MB RAM, no fastram
and 4GB harddrive).
I got a bunch of vertical lines which someone told me could be because the signals were
encoded. Of course it couldn't of helped that I was trying to capture images from my
Japanese Dreamcast (NTSC) on PAL equipment!!

It's just a radio-control servo that connected to the spare mouse port.
I wanted one for my A500. Dunno what I would have
done with it, but it was on the back cover of every copy of Info
magazine, and it was from the Video Toaster people, so I had to have it.
It was slow-scan, after all, so it could take the place of a scanner
or a camera for static scenes. It was certainly cheaper.
The Amiga had a real-time video digitizer caleld Amiga Live! with
less resolution and color fidelity from not long after its release.
