Attention sirius genlock users....  I need some help. 
I have recently invested in one....  I admit it is better than the G-lock 
(GVP) I
originaly bought for features.
 
Alas it isn't much better (maybe worse) for giving me a composite o/p.
 
At least the G-lock had a half decent output, the sirius drives the monitor toooo
hard...  The colours bleed and there isn't much I can really do - short of
re-maping all the colours or turning their brightness down.
 
That would be a long and slow task that IMHO should not have to be done!
 
It did work before.
 
The other main reason I got the sirius is that is is S/W controled (and NOT via
the f%$#ing mouse port!).
 
I set up the software and it kind of works.  I can do all the things it claims,
but it is a lot of work.
 
But on thing I did also really buy it for is for use with......  SCALA-MM400
 
Hey ED and Scala are "in bed" with each other, so .......  They are working to
the same ends.  Right?
 
Ha!
 
The closest I could get to an EX is the neptun ex.
 
Yes it "works" but I don't have the audio, well, I can work around it with the
use of AREXX  but considering what I paid....  ED are not doing any more for a
while (or was that Scala - until the BIM version is up and running).
 
So I grinned and beared it.  I kind of need a composite o/p for the Amiga if I
want to start home titling.  Hey isn't that the purpose of Scala?
 
So I start "trying out" the functions.
 
Here is what happened:
 
The software for the sirius genlock (the commodity - if you will) has an arexx
prot; which I guess the EX talks to anyway.
 
What is the name of it - a sirisu genlock with sirius s/w?  Neptun!  ha ha ha ha!
 
Yes you heard me right!
 
All the arexx scripts address sirius!  No real problem, just a git of search and
replace.
 
Then there is the two sliders on the EX when in Scala.
 
One is called Amiga and ranges from 0 - 255  and the other is video with the same
range.
 
You would think that with amiga at 255 and video at 0 the amiga would be the only
thing you see, right?  Wrong!  All you see is video.
 
Reverse them (make video 255 and amiga 0 and you get the amiga's graphics.
 

 
The adjustment program to set the black / white level......
 
It gives me a nice screen with colours on it and a slider that does nothing, and
when I exit, puts a little message in German for me to read.  Gee if only I had
taken German in highschool.
 
(I won't mention - other than this quick bit here - the spelling mistakes)
 
I can't spell either, but I get a proff reader and use a spell checker if I am
going to release a manual.
 

 
Down to the questions:
 
How do I get a less bright signal comming out of the genlock?
 
How do I use the genlock with Scala without all the fussing about with arexx
scripts?  OR do I do it manualy?  ;-)
 
Hope to hear from you soon.
 
(please reply direct)
