What meant by that was that the PC didn't put out standard NTSC (interlaced)
video but something considerably less than that. IIRC, the Amiga was capable
of interlaced display. Consequently, they were frequently used for titling
"educational" (read limited-budget) productions, which is often quite obvious.
The PC didn't support the functions necessary for such titling, though I
suppose one could have written a smooth-scrolling utility easily enough.
Summing the titles with an external video stream was not on the menu for PC's,
though.
Often they used a TARGA 16 board there for digital video and editing.
That was is 512 pixels wide 15 bit color, 1 bit for video overlay.
I have two kicking around here. DOS only -- never had a video drive for
windows. They later moved to Mac products.
