Hi
I'm sure that I heard that some Commodore systems could do TV out
and were in fact used to produce CGI stuff for 'Babylon Five"
Does anybody know which ones and could they do PAL or just NTSC?
I don't know about PAL. To do anything significant, you will want at
least a Genlock unit (I had one on my 1000), or maybe even Video Toaster.
TCI Bay Cablevision (Berkeley and Richmond) used to have a TV guide
channel. It would sometimes crash, and display a "Guru Meditation Number"
instead.
I heard that the Video Toaster people actually got HOSTILE reactions from
some Mac fanatics, so they made a BIG box containing a video toaster and
an Amiga, and sold that as a "Macintosh peripheral".
