It appears to be an Avid Blue Ice video card. There's one for sale on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/356293835775

Something that was VERY expensive back in the day! [drum-with-drumsticks]
Googling the I-Cude chip numbers I found this on eBay that appears to match: "Avid Blue Ice Video Card V2 card" .... I would imagine there is some kind of breakout board that connected to the external DB-xx port. Not sure if there is anyway to make use of a card like this now, is the software still available somewhere? is it useless without the external break out box? Hopefully it doesn't require an ADB hardware dongle... |

Interesting, found earlier model of the card here, so hardware accel rendering of adobe after effects!
Thanks everyone! Liked by Certificate of Excellence |

Not enough coffee this morning :D |
