| You may want to look at the AMIGEN. I have one and it works fine,
comes with some software to turn interlace on/off. It only allows
you to put graphics over video, so for my purposes, it's fine. I
don't know if you need more versatility or whatever. The price was
in the $100 area, I believe. Check around.

| I have the AMIGEN too, but it seems to suffer from the jitters if
I turn off the Amiga without turning off the monitor that is connected
to the RGB passtrough (this happens also if both are cycled off
then on in a short time). I have managed to get rid of the problem
by connecting my camera to the video in signal. Seems to me like
the unit is picking up stray noise from the unterminated input.
Aside from that, it works fine. Commodore has the 2300 genlock
for sale, it fits in the video slot in the 2000 and goes for around
$300 to $400.

| I have the Commodore 2300 and it works fine. I plug it into the
processor loop of a Sansui AV99 SEG. It has a switch at the back
to select amiga/both/video. It doesn't have any fade controls, but
there is enough titling software out there to do all the fading
for you under software control. The graphics on the TV seem to be
a bit bright, but playback after recording is fine. It has RCA jacks
for external video in/out and the 23 pin connector for the RGB monitor.
With this you have the option of connecting your monitor to the
output of the Genlock or the standard Amiga output. If you chose
the standard Amiga output then you cannot see the mix of graphics
and video on your monitor, just on the TV. It is NOT braodcast quality,
but it is certainly good enough for home and semi-professional use.
