VideoMaster was (at the time) the best video modulator ever produced for the Amstrad CPC.

The connectors are:

  • 6 Pin DIN plug for connecting into the CPC
  • Composite video-output for the display
  • connector for CPC disc drive power connector (if using on a CPC6128)
  • plug to connect to 12V power on CPC monitor (GT64 or CTM644 monitor required)

The video master doesn't have a video input so doesn't have the capability by itself to create titles for videos - it was planned but it was never made - so to do that you would need to use a program on another computer which allows mixing more than one video source.
