Well, not exactly. First of all, the Amiga PAR plugs into the Zorro bus
and the PC PAR plugs into an ISA or whatever slot. Second, the PC PAR
has the additional ability to do the Import/Export compression/decompression
in hardware (where as it is done in software on the NTSC Amiga PAR).
This means that in a rotoscoping application, when you grab a video
sequence with the PAR, you can then access any uncompressed frame from
that sequence in a fraction of a second rather than in 20 seconds on the
Amiga.
