Is that genlock "Broadcast Quality" or a hobbiest Genllock? …Joel

Joel, Thats a tough one for me to answer as I am not an expert in this area. This unit sold for around $700 mail order in 89 the same price as Supergen. I was rated 4 stars by INFO in the sept/oct 89 video hardware roundup the same as Supergen but less than the Magni 4004. Here is what Oran J. Sands III said about it: "The Gen/One is an attractively cased,higher priced genlock that has a very clean signal but few bells and whistles." The front panel has the on/off switch, Sync source switch, normal/reverse keying switch and 15-turn trimer adjusters for Imput: R,G,B Output: Video,Y,C & System timing: Horizontal,Vertical and Subcarrier timing. The back panel has 2 video 1 key 1 Y 1C connectors and a 9 pin monitor port on the output side and an Amiga video port, video and loop connector with a switch on the input side. I'm not sure its "Broadcast Quality" its someware a little under the Supergen but way above anything else available below the $600 price range. It is brand new (even has the registration card but the company has gone under). You might find a better one with heavy use on it when someone upgrades but they are few and far between. Hope this helps its honestly all I can tell you 🙂 – Whapping from A.E.C.O.M. Tom
