Both the A2000 version of the Genlock peripheral and the A2000 composite
adapter will provide composite video.  The Genlock peripheral seems like
it may be approaching production status, while the Composite adapter fell
through the cracks.  Since I took it upon myself to do somthing about the
Composite adapter, I seem to have aquired the responsibility for making it
happen.  All I can say at this point is that given production lead times,
neither one is exactly a RSN item.

Persons needing this capability RSN might want to contact Mimetics and see
if their A500/A2000 genlock device is ready yet.
