    Question: If I purchase a Quadra 630 with the Apple Video TV System card installed, can I output the video to a NTSC device such as a television or VCR?

    Answer: Yes, however you need to purchase the Apple Presentation System to do this. Without the Apple Presentation System, you cannot display the video from the Quadra 630 to a NTSC device. A PAL version of the Apple Presentation System is also available.


    Question: Does the image from the Apple Presentation System appears in some sort of video capture Software or is it the whole Macintosh screen shown?

    Answer: The Apple Presentation System displays the entire Macintosh Screen up to 640x480. You cannot use the Apple Presentation System at higher resolutions because the upper bits of VRAM would be off the edge of the NTSC screen.

    Answer: Yes, the Apple Presentation System allows you to connect both.
