I was wondering if any of you work on professional basis with genlocks in a studio.If so, wich genlock do you use, and is it hooked up in the outgoing line, or is it synchronised with an effectboard as an external effect?Currently we just got an A4000/030, but we fried the first genlock, and the second one couldn't be hooked up to our Sony SEG… Trouble in paradise? Thanks, Thor.

Thor, Are you trying to use these genlocks on a Toaster equipped Amiga? If so, you will continue to have problems. Since Toaster uses the internal video port of the Amiga and strips out some important voltages required by the genlock to operate properly. The system's video timing is also a factor in this particular instance. I have heard of one manufacturer that claims they can operate with a Toaster equipped Amiga, but their name escapes me at the moment. If you need that info, let me know and I wil try to dig up their name for you. Frank
