Abbreviations
These abbreviations are used in this manual:
bpp bits-per-pixel – measures colour depth.
fps frames-per-second – measures the video frame rate.
System requirements
Eagle can be used with Acorn computers having standard, half-
width expansion slots. (These include the A300/A400 series
Archimedes, A540 and A5000 computers. The A3000 is also suitable
with certain limitations.) Eagle is not suitable for A3010, A3020,
A4000 or A4 portable computers.
If your computer meets these system requirements:
• RISC OS 3.1 or greater,
• at least 2 Megabytes of RAM (memory),
then you can use Eagle for:
• video image live display,
• capture of still video images in colour or monochrome,
• audio sample capture and playback through the stereo
connector on the Eagle,
• MID1 connection.
Outputting sound samples through Eagle requires an ARM3
processor. (ARM3 is standard on the A540 and A5000 computers
and available as an upgrade to other computers.) With a slower
ARM 2 processor, sound output is only available through the
computer's internal speaker. This gives lower-quality results.
Movie-making
The nature of digital video movies is such that their storage,
processing and playing back requires large amounts of memory,
both in terms of hard disc space and available RAM.
