You can run EGS on the IV24 board and have two seperate video signals, both of which are genlockable. Of course, you cannot use an IV24 and OpalVision together, as they both use the video slot. Some of the 4000 towers apparently were to have 2 video slots. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, how does the machine decide which genlock signal to use?
