Replace our Commodore Amiga with PowerPC Macinosh

[froggytreafrogg]

Hi, I work at a TV station were we use a very old Commodore Amiga 200HD to insert a text scroll over graphics. However, the Amiga's graphics card is going out and is now losing color. I have a Power Mac 7500/100 that has the component and s-video inputs on the back. What I would like, is to be able to pass a video feed through the computer live as the Mac inserts a scroll of graphics. Can I pass a live video feed and insert graphics with this Mac? If so, what additional graphics card an software will i need. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As I remember no Mac from that period had an overlay genlock like the Amiga's did. Search on line for another Amiga. A4000 or A2000 Toaster systems can still be found and are pretty cheap I think. $400 or something like that.

Yeah you need the genlock and I believe only Amigas could do that in realtime.
