What I don't fully understand is why the Video Toaster requires a TBC in the first place. NONE of the other Genlocks for the Amiga (external or internal) ever required one. Is it only because TBC is necessary for 100% compatibility with pro video and studio standards? So much for the Amiga being fully "NTSC" compatible. lol

I've been "genlocking" on the Amiga for over 20 years and have made dozens of video tapes for play across a wide range of televisions and VCR's. Never had a single complaint. Threw a VT2000 in my machine and ran into roadblock after roadblock getting the thing to perform some simple transitions. Admittedly, I wasn't perfectly set up for it (lack of a good TBC), but I did have an external one that wouldn't sync up perfectly. But jeez... good TBC's are still expensive to this day!  Ended up getting rid of my Toaster for that very reason  :(
