No. Realy not. Genlocks are added to an Amiga-System in this way, that
the Amiga synchronizes to the Video-Input. 

A Frame-Grabber is a Device, which get a Video-Frame in realtime and
hold this picture in its own RAM. With the VD2001 Framebuffer and 
Digitizer you can grab Pictures in realtime and 24 bit. And you can, 
because of a special featuer of this card, lock a Video-Input to the
buffer. Soft-genlocking.

thomas ... greetings from Vienna
