Is there any way to use one monitor for both video and hi-resolution (>=1024x768) computer displays, not simultaneously? A few years ago, when CGA was still exciting :-), we had an adaptor box that let us translate computer output (?RGB?) to something our video projector used (?RS-170?) which worked fine. But computer graphics capabilities have improved a lot since then. I'm working with a customer who wants to do some simple video applications, letting the employees either display a video feed or computer output on their monitor. They don't want to use the desk space to put a separate TV on every desk (which would be cheaper, and solve a whole raft of other problems), but they don't need the kind of $5000 board that will let them display TV in an X-window and lock them into that technology for years either. Is there anything simple that will do the job?

Mitsubishi makes a 14 or 15" Multisync monitor that has a NTSC video input. I am not sure whether it has a tuner, though, but hooking it to a VCR should be no problem. -- Veljko Roskar roskar%kavazi@jhunix.UUCP
