- In our studio we have two different genlocks: The GLock and a Neptune Genlock
- from Electronic Designs.
-
- We don't use the GLock because we don't think its output is good enough. To me
- it seems like the GLock is very configurable (via software ONLY) and the
- manual is quite well written. If you are going to use a genlock for
- professional video productions, don't aim for this one. I guess it suffices
- for the amateur home movie though. I also think there is a Scala EX for GVP
- GLock so you easily can control it from Scala MM or IC. It also has a nice
- feature which enables you to mix sound as well. Not all genlocks has this
- option.
-
- When it comes to the other genlock we use, the Neptune, it gives a much less
- distorted output. I would say it is very good, but still not perfect. It is
- not good enough for broadcast productions, but good enough for any VHS/SVHS
- production. It has levers for manual operation as well as full support for
- software control. As far as I can remember it has quite a lot more connectors
- than the GLock, but no sound option. There are other ways around that problem
- though. It interacts perfectly with Scala as it too has a dedicated EX.
-
- The Neptune costs a bit more, but as you probably know output is everything
- when it comes to this type of productions.
