We have one of these.  It works great.  It also obviates the need for the 
genlock board, as it can take RGBS inputs at RS-170A timings as well as 
NTSC and composite video.  The internal RGB to NTSC converter works quite 
well.  It's also pretty easy to program over an RS-232 wire.  It's about 
$23K list.  With educational discount and bid incentive you should be able 
to get it for well under $20K.  Still expensive, but worth it.
