- Genlock
- a broadcast quality genlock in a 19" rack mount enclosure (2U)
- four different model revisions available, G-100 through G-100 IV
- video input: Amiga RGB, 15 pin DSUB
- video output: YUV, Y/C (S-VHS), Composite (FBAS), RGB
- additional inputs/outputs: Downstream Key (DSK) Out, Black Burst (BB) In
- monitor output for Amiga RGB signal
- does not overlay Amiga signal to a video signal - an additional (external) video mixer is needed for that task
- video settings via 7 potentiometers at front panel: Luminance, Chroma, RGB, Subcarrier Phase, Horizontal Delay
- DIP switches at the rear panel:
- 2× Subcarrier coarse setting
- 1× DSK output level 0.7Vpp or 1.0Vpp
- 1× DSK positive or negative keying
- 4× delay timing 280ns, 140ns, 70ns, 35ns or combinations (depending on cable)
- internal power supply
- special cable needed for connecting Amiga to the Genlock (23 pin to 15 pin), wired as follows:
- at the Amiga RGB port, pins 1, 11 and 12 are connected with 470 Ohm resistor in series to pins 2 + 13, and with 330 Ohm resistor in series to pin 23
