Is there a gen-lock available for the Amiga 500? I remember that the 1000's genlock does not work due to physical space problems plus changes in pin-outs, but I don't remember if anyone ever announced a 500 genlock. Please e-mail whatever you know and I will summarize to the net if I get any good responses. Franco -- Franco Barber AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio ..!cbosgd!cblpe!feb (614) 860-7803

Yes, the Amigen (or are they now calling it Imagen?) genlock from Mimetics will (a.) fit and (b.) work in the A500. It sells for about $180. I haven't used it so I can't attest to its picture quality. It looked fairly good at AmiExpo in NYC last Oct. Bob Lindstrom

You can be fairly certain that *Imagen* is NOT what they will be calling it. The laser-printer that we use here to print all our wonderful TeX documents from is called Imagen. Thus, it is copyrighted (at least it says it is :-). Kurt (that smaug@eneevax.umd.edu to you, stranger...)

It was first announced to the world as Imagen, but I guess they changed the name because of the conflict with the printer. It's a neat little device and it works well. Student-run Stanford X-TV used it (along with TeX fonts and a Director script) to superimpose the scores on a couple of Stanford basketball games transmitted live on the Stanford TV network. One annoying feature is that you need to get a seperate cable if you want to see RGB while the genlock is hooked up. Not too bad; just an extra $12. The RGB signal is just passed through; so I don't know why they didn't provide the full 23 pin connector... Ali Ozer, ali@polya.stanford.edu
