Are any of the Amiga compatible genlock devices able to do rudimentary "chroma-key" effects? (I.E. The local weatherman standing in front of the huge digatal weather map) I would think the commodore genlock is doing pretty much the same thing when overlaying the graphics onto the composite signal, but then again I've been known to think strange things before. Price is no object for me, unless of course that price is overly exhorborant, which in my case would be anything over what I paid for my Amiga 1000 two years ago.

I know the Commodore genlocks 1300 & 2300 both work this way. -- Dan "Sneakers" Schein {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers Sneakers Computing 2455 McKinley Ave West Lawn PA 19609 Call: BERKS AMIGA BBS 24 Hrs - 3/12/2400 Baud Disclaimer: Any opinions expressed are 40 Meg -=- 215/678-7691 those of Sneakers Computing Of course heimat is an Amiga, doesn't everyone run UUCP & UseNet on an Amiga?
