RVxxx could be bias resistors needed by the Brooktree Bt477s. U260 looks like a linear switching power regulator (like the Power Tech on the ServerGuard).

Two S-VHS ports. ???

No idea what ADF. If you have this card, or documentation on it, Contact Us!


Magni Remote Control Unit "RCU" (from Dave Keiller)

I agree 99+% MCA adapters do require an ADF, but this card is an exception. It only uses the computer for it's video support. I'll send a drawing of the unit hook up. The card is used for video and graphic mixing, cutting, and fading but software is not required or used.
