I am wondering if it is possible to hook up your computer to a VCR or
camcorder and superimpose graphics or text with a picture you are taking
without videodigitizing the picture.  I know there are character
generaters out there, for camcorders, but is it possible to hook up the
Atari as one of those?

This is something I've been waiting for it to come out, and now I see
Electronic Arts has done it on the Amiga.  I think the colloquial term
is genlock.  If anyone knows how long until it comes out on the Atari or
how much it costs, please tell me, I am very interested.


P.S.  I am also interested (there has been a little talk about it) if
anyone has used a satelite dish to recieve weather radar pictures.
