Hi,

I recently got a rocgen plus genlock to use with my A1200 and am having problems getting it to work (with or without an external 12V psu)
When it is connected the amiga lights go crazy blinking on and off and it won't boot up. The power light on the genlock comes on though. I have tried with several different amiga power supplies (including a goliath) and have also plugged a 12V psu into the rocgen ... but sadly no luck :(

Does anyone here have any experience of the rocgen gunlocks that they might be willing to share ?

Many thanks for your time :)


try to feed a stable video signal (like one from a camera) and see if your A1200 boots.

Some genlocks requires it.

hi
 The RocGen Plus documentation says that it will operate without a stable incoming video signal by generating its own sync. Without a stable incoming video signal would some genlocks prevent an Amiga from boring ?


Amiga genlocks may be very tricky sometimes (different behaviours with different Amiga models) and yes they can prevent your system booting.

Are you sure that your A1200 and your genlock are of the same video standard? both PAL or NTSC?
