Does anybody have any experience about recording images from the macs screen to the videorecorder? I know there are a few cards for Mac II machines but I am especially interested Apples INIT+cable system (MacWorld, September 1990). Where do I get this init? Is there PAL version?

When the VideoSync file is added to the Macintosh System Folder, the user can adjust the timing of an Apple display card from the Monitors Control Panel. The resulting Macintosh monitor image appears stable when viewed by an external NTSC video camera. In addition, there are several third-party products that allow users to create NTSC timing for directly recording Macintosh screens to a videocassette recorder. VideoSync requires any Macintosh II personal computer; Macintosh System Software version 6.0.4 or later, or A/UX 2.0 or later; an AppleColor High-Resolution RGB Monitor; and a Macintosh Display Card 4%8, 8%24, 8%24 GC, Apple High Resolution Video Card, or Macintosh II Video Card. It is also compatible with some third-party displays that support Apple video cards. "VideoSync will provide all types of Macintosh users with an easy-to-use, low-cost tool for recording high-quality Macintosh monitor images to videotape," said Doug Camplejohn, product manager, Apple Video Integration Products. "Developers can also integrate VideoSync into their own applications. This product is the latest example of Apple delivering on its commitment to integrate video with the Macintosh." Developers can license VideoSync directly from Apple as a stand-alone utility for video integration applications. VideoSync is available immediately through APDA for $35. Those interested in obtaining a copy of VideoSync and documentation can contact APDA in the United States at 800-282-2732. -- Charlie S.
