Truevision NuVista+ had a bunch of video features including frame

Mac-hosted development tools. I have been unable to locate the
development kit for this over the years.

Video cards that could drive 24 bits were still expensive circa 1990 (i
paid something like $4000 for a Truevision NuVista which was among the
first to fully support Colour QuickDraw up to 32 bits), but both the Mac
II and the NeXT range went there as soon as the technology was
available. There were 24 bit cards with system software hacks before
Colour QuickDraw (RasterOps planar). I think variations of these were
even available for the non-NuBus form factor Macs.
Did that card have video frame grabbing? --Toby
