Hmmm...seems Pnews or my editor ate most of my text.  The gist of it was,
I already have the Mac II, so switching platforms to an Amiga is impractical.
What is available to convert Mac video to NTSC?

Thanks,
Adam

Well, there are NTSC encoders that (guessing) go for $50-100, but
these will only convert the signal, they will not overlay a mac
screen with a live video screen.  This requires a genlock, which is
significantly more expensive (even wilder guess) starting at $500+.
You would have to check a dealer for more details.
