Normally, you can't. 1) the EGA doesn't have a NTSC output 2) because
the format of EGA is not NTSC compatable.
If you are looking for a way just to physically connect the EGA output to your
VCR, forget it. The only way is to purchase a special EGA RGB to NTSC
converter.

I recall having read about products that can take EGA or VGA signals and turn them into composit video signals (interlaced I would guess) for recording on a VCR or display on a composit monitor. I am interested in such a product that works with VGA graphics. If some one has used one or can otherwise recommend one, I would like to know about it. -- Kevin Allred allred@emx.cc.utexas.edu allred@ut-emx.UUCP

A product called VGA-TV, that promises to do just that, is advertised on page 94 of the June 27, 1989 (Vol. 8 Issue 12) issue of PC Magazine. Here are excerpts from the ad: ...VGA-TV lets you display broadcast quality graphics, conduct PC training sessions, run interactive software demos, or simply see the full impact of your work on TV. Plus, you can videotape anything you display and send it to one or one million viewers. VGA-TV is a standard VGA card that is 100% register and BIOS compatable. It outputs a broadcast quality NTSC (or RGB) signal of VGA images to your television, projection TV, large screen TV, or VCR. On your TV, which connects to your computer by a simple RCA jack, VGA-TV gives you resolution up to 640 x 480 x 16 colors (256 colors when optional expansion memory is added to the board's sockets)... End of excerpts. The VGA-TV is $699, and has a one-year warranty and toll-free technical support (or so the ad says). It's available from: Willow Peripherals 190 Willow Ave. Bronx, NY 10454 (212)402-0010 (business phone) (212)402-9603 (fax) (800)402-1585, x74 (order/info phone) Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with Willow Peripherals, and don't even own any of their products. Your milage may vary. -- Marc Unangst UUCP smart : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us UUCP dumb : ...!uunet!sharkey!mudos!mju UUCP dumb alt.: ...!{ames,rutgers}!mailrus!clip!mudos!mju Internet : mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us

It requires some sort of conversion box that runs around $1000! EGA signals are not compatible with normal (TV) video signals. The scan rates (both vertical and horizontal) are different.
