+<p class="Pp"><code class="Nm">isv</code> is a driver for the IDEC
+ Supervision/16, an image capture board that plugs into a 16-bit ISA bus. The
+ IDEC Supervision/16 digitizes an NTSC television signal, storing a 512 x
+ 480-pixel, 8-bit grayscale image in its 256kB dynamic RAM array every 1/30th
+ of a second. The host reads frames from the DRAM using 122881 16-bit I/O
+ reads. Reading frames from the Supervision/16 is quite slow: after the host
+ reads a 16-bit word from the DRAM, the Supervision/16 state machine takes
+ approximately 0.5 microseconds to get ready for the next read.
+ Theoretically, a frame rate of approximately 10 frames per second is
+ possible. <code class="Nm">isv</code> achieves a frame rate of approximately
+ 6 frames per second.</p>
