Wayne, I've got the pluge in the SMPTE bars. If you specify SETUP (the default), then I don't display the blacker-than-black part of the pluge (or rather it is just black), because if the genlock (or Toaster) automatically adds setup, then of course I can't get blacker-than-black. If you specify NOSETUP (on the command line, in the icon, or using the "Y" key), then you get the full pluge. The colors are very close to exact (given 4096 colors) on a vectorscope when I tested it with most genlocks, including the SuperGen, OmniGen and Neriki. I've never tried VTOT with a Toaster, but on cheaper genlocks (and encoders) the colors deviate quite a bit. It sounds like the Toaster processes the Amiga signal differently than it's own. —Mike
