I am interested in creating an Amiga program which will overlay a specific 
graphic image (IFF file) onto external video from a VTR during a specific
frame of the video; in other words, the Amiga will display an image at a
predecided SMPTE time.  Does anyone know of an affordable device (i.e. less
than $300) that will read SMPTE from the audio track of a tape recorder and
interface to the Amiga?

Unless I can find such a device I will probably just use a SMPTE to MIDI time
code convertor and a MIDI interface... kind of indirect, but its all I've found
so far...

I am going to tackle my CIS senior project on a 2000 and would appreciate any
advice, technical references, etc that anyone can give.

Thanks
