The Amiga has one video output.  You could use a videodisc and have your video
images output to one monitor and then have a second monitor to display your
Amiga based information and images.

AmigaVision was designed so that you don't need to use two monitors (like with
most of the authoring systems for other platforms).  By using a genlock you can
combine live action video with Amiga based text, graphics and animation and
output the entire program on one monitor so the user can keep their attention
focused in one place and not have to keep shifting.
