I'm using an Amiga Genlock as a Head_Up_Display for a remotely piloted vehicle,
but it's not working too well.  The sync levels from the camera on board the
vehicle work just fine with my TV set, but the Genlock has a really having a
hard time syncing up.  I saw a lot of improvement when I added DC-level
restoration to the input, but the HUD still tears and smears.  Any ideas
what I can do to either fix the input signal (a sync rebuilder, but it
would have to work on _both_ horizontal and vertical sync), fix the
Genlock (I'm good with hardware, but I don't really own the Genlock),
or replace the whole shooting match with another kind of genlock that
would do a better job?  Heck, I'm almost tempted to replace the whole
shooting match with a standalone overlay generator....

Many thanks in advance for any ideas!
