Does anyone know if they make an ega card that drives a composite ega monitor??? I want to connect the ega card output to my vcr so i can make titles and other stuff for tapes. Send mail directly to me at: -- conan@vax1.acs.udel.edu OR conan@192.5.57.1 ******************************************* ****I only play DISC GOLF and drink tea**** *******************************************

I had a project to use some graphics stuff and record to a vcr. In calling around, I found out there are either *very* expensive methods of doing this, or rather inexpensive ways. Since I was working with a limited budget, I chose to go with the latter. This consisted of using a CGA card with composite video output, and splitting it to a monitor and vcr. I will admit, the graphics, when transfered, is going to be only CGA, so it does lack the pizaz of EGA or VGA, but it did do the job. Total expenditures were about $50.00 for the card, and $100.00 for the monitor. The quality of the transfered image is due to the qualtity of the vcr (which is a different subject on its own, and does not belong here). FYI, by using the proffessional wide video tape (such as the systems many school districts once used), a nice image can be transfered. Again, this does adds to the cost. By the way, this set up records what is on the screen, so what you see is what you get. Use one of the many slide show type programs (I have seen some PD types). For what it is worth......

The orginal IBM CGA has a composite video out (as you pointed out). The EGA and VGA did not include this feature.

I believe you can still use a 9-pin to RCA converter on the EGA cards provided you set the EGA card for composite/RBG output.... George

Makes sense, considering that EGA and VGA modes are NOT NTSC compatable.

Most EGA cards duplicate >the IBM "feature connector" which among other things, uses two RCA type >jack. But the signals aren't NTSC video!!! Yes, the ATI EGA Wonder puts out a composite video signal on one of the RCS jacks (J1). Putting a jumper on C3 pins 2&3 enables composite output on J1 while a jumper on C3 pins 1&2 connects J1 to the feature connector. The card also has an RF modulator port.
