Does anyone know if there is a way to get to MAC-SE screen graphics genlocked to an external NTSC video signal (B&W)? Either of 2 posibilities come to mind... pull out the MAC display signal, changing it to composite video (NTSC) and using a genlock to merge the mac screen with another video source to an external monitor... or genlock the external source and the mac screen on the mac. I would think the former would be more practical, but I'm not even sure if either can be done. Does anyone know if this can be done at all? - if so, HOW?? Greatly appreciate any help. I would also appreciate hearing that this cannot be done, if such is the case, so I don't waste too much time with it. -- Kostya LaPasha paleo@uncecs.edu or paleo@ecsvax.uncecs.edu - comments, opinions, etc. are mine NOT those of NCSU -

I seem to recall that Comtrex had a video camera that could film directly
off the screen of a Mac Plus/SE that came with an optional genlock device.
The scan rate of the camera was matched to that of the Mac so there wouldn't
be any video lines.

Were they getting the mac scree signal from inside the mac or were they pointing the camera at the mac screen to get the video signal? Any idea as to what kind of output signal this thing puts out? Info or possible pointers greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Kostya LaPasha paleo@uncecs.edu or paleo@ecsvax.uncecs.edu - comments, opinions, etc. are mine NOT those of NCSU -
