Interface
RGB port
genlock
composite and Y/C inputs and outputs
no transcoding between the signals
connecting both Y/C and composite signals simultaneously is not supported
fader knob - the fading range is limited
two switches select between the operation modes:
genlocked mode - colour zero is transparent, all others float above the live video backdrop
inverse mode (keyhole effect) - colour zero is solid, all other colours produce holes
video passthrough mode - Amiga graphics is hidden
Amiga passthrough mode - useful for recording Amiga graphics only
toggling the switches may cause loss of sync or loss of colour
unable to handle extreme overscan effectively - the left side of the Amiga screen overlaps the video image
plastic case - negligible shielding leads to cross interference from other video equipment
