Patrick, If you're using a standard, outboard SuperGen (the original one first made by Progressive Image Technology), that's what I'm currently using to genlock my FC-24 into our system. Personally, I believe the FC-24 encoded via a SuperGen kicks DCTV's behind. There are a number of reasons for this, including higher resolution (1024 x 482) and TRUE 24 bit color. The only drawback to the SuperGen as an encoder is a small amount of residual clock noise in the video signal — if it hasn't been a problem for you with Amiga graphics, I don't think you'll notice it on your FC-24 output. It does show up on a scope (instead of black showing up as a fixed horizontal line, it's a bunch of tiny peaks and valleys — if you notice it, know that it's a design limitation of the SuperGen, not the FC24). But as to the actual quality of the encoding — resolution, colorimetry, etc — the SuperGen is fine. Hope this helps! Pete
