Amiga Hardware DatabaseManufacturer Videocomp, Germany | Date 1989 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port |
- Genlock
- VES = Video Effect System
- provides multiple video functions in one package: genlock, title generator, video mixer and video digitizer
- includes the NewTek Digi-View Gold for the digitizing function, an automatic RGB splitter enhances the image quality
- brightness, contrast and color saturation controls of video input
- Amiga signal can be adjusted in brightness and contrast, no color adaptation possible
- provides different keying and effect options
- supports "hard" keying
- keying invert switch: when inactive, video is projected onto the computer image where color 0 is - when active, video is shown at positions other than color 0
- three wipe effect patterns (horizontal, vertical, circular), also in combination, controllable by WIPE slider
- effects only apply to Amiga signal
- fade-in of Amiga signal possible, controllable by MIX slider
- both WIPE and MIX effects can also be time programmed (up to 10s) and started by button press
- video inputs: 1× Composite/FBAS (BNC connector), 1× Y/C (S-VHS), Amiga RGB 15 pin
- video outputs: 2× Composite/FBAS (BNC connector), 2× Y/C (S-VHS)
- separate switch enables S-VHS in-/outputs
- 25 pin parallel port and 9 pin game port for digitizing function
- RGB monitor connector
- title generator software Videopage included
- Notes
- 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
