I think that board is indeed a video capture board. The unusual

Plenty of info & photos of the Indigo graphics options here...

You should be able to power the machine up without drives or graphics
options. If no keyboard is detected, all console IO is directed to the
first serial port.

For graphics however it has a four-board set;
does anyone know what this
might be? Wikipedia talks about a three-board set for the Maximum
Impact,
and fewer cards for lesser options, but I've not seen mention
anywhere of a
machine using four (unless they're just not counting the analog output
board as part of the three?)
Just on the back of that, the board with the 13w3 is actually the
second board down. The top board has a DA26F connector and a connector
with three rows of 15 pins each. Not a lot of clues on the board as to
its purpose, although it does say MGV1 in one corner. Maybe some form
of hardware MPEG encoder or capture board?
