I'd appreciate any suggestions on selecting a genlock that meets as many as possible of the following criteria: …It must work on a 500. I'd prefer that it also work on a 3000. …It will be used for the following 3 purposes: 1) to provide a simple color composite video out, so I can view the Amiga's output on my projection TV/monitor 2) to permit me to send computer generated images out to videotape (with no concurrent video in) 3) to permit me to overlay computer graphics on top of a live (camera) or taped (VCR) video input, and send that combined image either to a monitor or to another VCR. …Ideally, I don't want to have to disconnect my RGB cable (to the 1084s) every time I use it. Since the genlock will attach to the RGB out of the Amiga, what I need to do this is for the genlock to provide not only composite out, but also to duplicate the RGB port into which it is plugged, so I can still leave the RGB monitor connected. What are my choices? Thanks, ===Scott
