A short time ago, I requested information for grabbing video clips.
The following is a copy of my original request and three of the responses
that I received.  I hope the information is useful to others as well.

Thanks again.

*****************************************************************

Your options for 30fps video are RasterOps PIP 2-slot s-bus card.
Currently runs under SunView, not sure of the OW status. Cost is
about $7K. It will work with both PAL and NTSC.

For your 4/490 there is the Parallax VideoView board, its a 9U VME
card, cost is again about $7K. Runs under SunView and I have seen
it demonstrated running under OW. NTSC video only.

The catalyst book should contain details of these products.

If you just want to grab stills and are happy with under 10fps video
there is the VideoPix card from Sun. Its a single slot s-bus card,
cost is list $895.

******************************************************************

We are currently looking at "Videophile" from Paradise Softare
(support@paradise.com).  The latest versions supports Sun's new
VideoPix board for SparcStations.  It claims to do playback at 30
frames/sec, although capture and compression is much slower.

*******************************************************************

 Contact your local sun sales office and ask about our VideoPix image 
capture board for the SPARCstation 1, 1+, 2, or IPC. It's $895.00.

 For Live motion boards, there is also the Parallax VideoView board for
VME bus ($8K) , The Rastops SPARC TC w/PIP (S-bus) ($8K), RGB spectrum ($7.5K),
and New Media Graphics.

Hope this helps...
