PAL genlocks with Y/C out are rare(=read - expensive) here as hell. A520 costs me only 5 quids.

composite on 1084S

 
A520 S-video on 1084S

Awesome, glad to see you tried it and it worked.  I have done the hack and mine almost worked but didn't produce quite the correct output.  I think I got a resister value wrong somewhere now, and I will go back and check it to see if I can get it to work now that I know someone else has followed the instructions and made it go. :-)


 :-D  I just want to try it if its works at first. also ive measured every resistor before soldering it.
That mod has slso one big advantage - you can reverse it back to TV-mod if you need.
