[comp.sys.amiga] Considering a cheap genlock .....

	Okay, I'm looking to buy a genlock to play around with.  I
want the cheapest available but I've heard warnings against them.
However, the only purposes I have in mind at the moment are home video
titling and putting computer animations on tape.  I would be making
stuff for my own use, nothing professional.  I might consider making
short animations then dubbing sound later.  So I'm wondering, wouldn't
something like an Amigen be for me?  BTW, I have an A500 with 1meg and
NO video enhancing hardware (flicker fixer, etc).  I'm looking for a
price under $200, the more under the better.  Any suggestions?

Actually, I'm not looking to buy one, but I saw this posting not more than
a few hours after I built a MIDI adapter for my brother's 500.  So I'm
kind of in the mood to build something else.  I would expect that a
genlock would be harder to build than the MIDI adapter, but I know
absolutely nothing about video and I'm curious now.  Does anyone out
there have a schematic for a simple one?  If not, what would be involved
in making one?  Just need to satisfy my curiosity now.

Thanks,
Larry
