John – I downloaded your demo – very impressive. I was particularly taken with the number of EX modules. One item in the list puzzled me though… can you tell me who makes the video switcher listed as DVE-10 – any details you might have would be helpful. Also, is Opalvision support far off? – Joe

DVE10P is a genlock, not a video-switcher. It formerly was produced and sold by Videocomp in Germany. They do not make it anymore. Ottmar Roehrig from Hamburg, Germany

Thanks Ottmar – are there any video switchers on the german market that would allow me to switch between multiple video sources – sort of like the Toaster, but without all the additional Toaster gadgets. – Joe

Yes, you can use the FrameMachine/Prism-combination together with a Genlock (preferably the Sirius fro electornic design as well). Then you have the possibility to mix two formerly unsynchronized videos on a pixel-per-pixel-basis. You do this by drawing animations with >=4 bitplanes which gives you all the effetcs an Amiga can produce on video-transitions as well. Very neat thing.

I'm not sure if the FrameMachine/Prism will do the video switching I was looking for – but it sure sounds cool. I'm actually looking for a box that will (under Amiga control) switch from one video source to another) Thanks – Joe
