Hi, 
we'running BIOSYM software on a 4D/80 GT and we purchased a GENLOCK board from
the very beginning. It never showed a TV signal which was of any use, though 
SGI claims that this might change. (- year and place unknown yet).

Now I fished a message on the net

and I ask the netland whether any of you got nice broadcast PAL, SECAM or NTSC
out of these boards ? It never worked in our hands so far though our service
rep changed the boards already.

Thanks a lot, 
Reinhard
