The genlock is called AmiGen. It was first announced to the world as Imagen,
but I guess they changed the name because of the conflict with the printer.

It's a neat little device and it works well. Student-run Stanford X-TV used
it (along with TeX fonts and a Director script) to superimpose the scores
on a couple of Stanford basketball games transmitted live on the Stanford
TV network. One annoying feature is that you need to get a seperate cable
if you want to see RGB while the genlock is hooked up. Not too bad; just
an extra $12. The RGB signal is just passed through; so I don't know why
they didn't provide the full 23 pin connector...
