Fricke Electronics will have a RGB to FBAS or Y/C output for various
VGA and SVGA cards in about 2 weeks from now.
The breakthrough price will only be around 150 US$. It has a very good
picture quality.

When you are looking for Genlocks on the PC, there is only one good
price/performance system out now:

The Genoa Genlock board M2100 VGA2TV (NTSC) or the M2150 PAL.

It is about 400 US$ and you can order it directly from Genoa USA.

Call in the US Mr. Austin Sun at Genoa: 408-432-9123-ext 252

The Genoa Genlock is an internal board and connects to the SVGA card
via feature connector. There it gets its signal in digital standard
from the VGA (SVGA) card and samples it into its own RAM.
Then it is outputed in the NTSC or PAL video frequeny mode with
additionally Genlock to an external video or Y/C source.

It also has FBAS and Y/C outputs.

There comes a very good _free_ video titler with it and a lot of 
connection cables, so you are ready to go to title your holiday movie
from your camcorder and record the titled movie to your home VCR !

It is a great product and I'm using it myself.

Best regards Stefan Hartmann.
