Agreed. Genlock and overlay would be the holy grail. I will feed back your
comments to the designer.

He said that intially the Video version would be composite only. I said
that
I assumed his "clever" chip would be generating the image as RGB
which would
then be converted down to composite and pointed out that if possible could
he also make the RGB or S-Video outputs available and he is looking into
this.

Will ask about Genlock capability or the possibility of adding it
