ViVID 5000

The ViVID graphics enhancers are available for most Acorn computers running RISC OS 3.0 or 3.1x. ViVID graphics enhancers are designed to improve the display produced by pre-RiscPC Acorn computer systems.

The toolbar allows you easy access to all ViVID controls including the brightness/contrast controls. All versions of ViVID are fully compatible with all correctly written multi-tasking applications.
