Yep! An Amiga 1000. There's yet another reason for this: When TV series are made on a relatively low budget, it is recorded directly to 1 inch videotape, unlike the film used for movies. For most other computers, when you point your production camera at the screen, you get HUGE amounts of flickering. When you point your camera at an Amiga screen, a horizontal bar moves slowly down the screen. Even this can be avoided by plugging in a good quality genlock like the SuperGen and syncing it to the production equipment. Also, the Amiga video output can then easily be attached to one of the production switcher's inputs. ----------->Steve Holland<----------- Internet: wildcat!steve@alphalpha.com| "I never let my schooling get in the USENET: ...!alphalpha!wildcat!steve | way of my education" -Mark Twain
