HELP! I'm sure this has been chewed on before, but since I'm relatively new here, I'll ask anyway. I'm getting into "multi-media" and I would really like to get COLOR ntsc from my A500. The problem is that it only supplies monochrome. I really do NOT want to spend the bucks for a decent genlock yet. So, the question is....How can I do this CHEAPLY. On a similar note, the el-cheapo Ami-gen is around 100.00. Will it allow this? Thanks, JIM -> ->Disclaimer: IMHO, all of my opinions belong to ME.<- <- __________________________________________________________ | Bitnet: GRAHAM@IUCF.BITNET | | Internet: graham@venus.iucf.indiana.edu | | BBS: The PORTAL DOLMEN, (812) 334-0418, 9pm-7am EST.| |__________________________________________________________|

Will it allow this? Any of the genlocks, including something like the Ami-gen should be able to create composite video output in the absence of an external video source. You might also look at the Commodore A520 composite video adapter/RF modulator which might be a little cheaper. I suspect there are some similar 3-rd party devices available. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
