- Since they've been built that I recall. All CBM genlocks I've ever seen
- give you composite output of the incoming video. It overlays the Amiga
- video onto the composite signal and sends it back out as composite.
-
- Is there a CBM genlock that takes the composite in and sends it out as RGB?
- (We're talking the composite input here, NOT the Amiga video. Ie. not the
- monitor loop through.) If so, that's nice, but I've not seen one yet. Which
- model is it?
