The G-Locks I've seen are a heap of shit.  We had one in the TV studio
when I worked at the University of Southern Qld, and it _never_ booted up
in the correct phase, causing all sorts of grief.  The one we have at work
is worse, any monitor connected through its pass-thru flickers in and out
of sync, now the horizontal timing is out, causing the picture to skew,
and it doesn't boot up in any phase that a TV can recognise.  Oh, yes, a
Scala dongle conflicts with the G-Lock control cable.

Avoid like the plague.
