I was playing with an Amiga 3000 in a local store last week, and in the 
A3000 demo there is a picture of a VCR in use as a video source for the 
Amiga/AmigaVision.  This was alongside cameras, videodisc players, and
scanners.  

This machine did have a videodisc player hooked up with a control cable
going from the Amiga (serial port, I think), and video input through a 
genlock card.  

The question is: are there VCRs that work with the Amiga in a similar way?
(The graphic image of the VCR distinctly said "SONY" on it, and had a 
jog-shuttle dial on one side.)

I'm looking into VCRs and TVs, and this would be a handy thing to know.

Thanks,
