Manufacturer G2 Systems, UK | Date 1991 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface RGB port, parallel port |
- genlock
- a broadcast quality genlock in a 19" rack mount enclosure
- composite, Y/C, RGB and Y/Cr/Cb modes
- the function of the video input and output connectors (Keyer 1-3, 6× BNC, 2× mini-DIN) depend on the video mode selected on the front panel:
Keyer 1 Keyer 2 Keyer 3 CVBS/YC mode CVBS Y C RGB mode G R B Y/Cr/Cb mode Y Cr Cb - composite, Y/C and RGBS outputs of the Amiga signal (5× BNC, 1× mini-DIN) - all are constantly available regardless of the selected video mode
- the Y/C keyer BNC terminals are parallel with the 4 pin mini-DIN Y/C multipoles - both outputs should not be used simultaneously
- key output (a standard non-composite waveform) for use with a video mixer (1× BNC)
- reference input with loop connector (2× BNC)
- must be provided with a stable accurate reference - direct videotape signals are not suitable
- cross fade with external background signal
- crossfade, key and fade to black via sliders on a separate remote control
- background mode: colour zero is set to the overlay colour, video is seen through
- foreground mode: the colour to be made transparent is controlled by a rotary switch
- adjustable key colour, subcarrier and horizontal phase
- can be used to encode the RGB output of a genlocked Harlequin graphics card, but it is not possible to obtain a signal mixed or keyed over a background video source using the VC3 internal keyers
- software control via the parallel port
- separate PAL and NTSC models
- internal power supply
- optional RGB-Link board
- enables an external linear RGB signal to be processed the same way as the Amiga signal
- input the RGB-Link board is via a DB25 connector which replaces the Amiga software control port - the Amiga computer control facility is lost
- switching between Amiga and external RGB is provided by the manual/computer switch on the front panel
- VC3C variant
- provides all functions of the VC3 except for the 3 channels of keying
- if fitted, the following ports are not available for use:
- keyer inputs
- Amiga control port
- remote control port
- VC3B variant
- provides RGB, Sync and key outputs only
- if fitted, the following ports are not available for use:
- keyer inputs and outputs (3 channels)
- PAL and Y/C outputs
- Amiga control port
- remote control port
- if fitted, the following front panel controls are not available for use:
- RGB/CVBS/YCrCb switch
- 2 subcarrier phase controls
