The Visionary program is a "remote control" program with a modern GUI that is designed to take full advantage of the Visual Reality¹ system allowing your Pegasos/Amiga to use modern TV/Video PCI cards with just about any look you want. Visionary is programmed to be very modular thus allowing support for a wide number of cards with different types of chipsets and tuners. Adding support for a new card (with documentation) is easy. Currently Visionary supports cards based on the following chipsets and tuners found below. About snapshots on this page².

Not only is it easy to use, no scripts or fiddling with config files, but with interchangable skins it can look extreamly cool. Not only can you watch TV or video on your Workbench(c) but you can do it in style. With the many different number of skins available and the ability to make your own you can make Visionary look like just about anything.
What do you need to run Visionary? Currently you need a PegasosI/PegasosII PPC machine running MorphOS or an Amiga with a G-Rex PCI adaptor by DCE. Then you need CyberGraphX running (or MorphOS) on one of the many supported PCI graphics cards. Visionary takes full advantage of CyberGraphX with direct support of CGX's features such as SuperLayers for the best preformance.
¹ "Visual Reality gives you complete control to allow you to get the most out of your TV/Video card. It looks and works like the remotes you use with your home TV and Stereo. Choose your own interface design from a variety of skins. Configure Visual Reality to look and feel the way you want. Skin interface makes changing remote controls a snap." Visual Reality compatible aplications are also packaged with graphic cards like the Voodoo3 3500, VoodooTV 100/200/FM, STB cards and others.
