In response to several requests for information about getting a PC with an EGA to output genlocked composite video. You might check out a product called EGA Overlay! from U.S. Video. It fits on the feature connector so it does not require a bus slot, (the only card to use the feature connector that I know of...). It takes a composite input signal and overlays it on the screen with EGA graphics given one of the 16 colors to replace with video. The output is NTSC composite signal suitable for VCR's etc. They also have a version that has digital RGB output as well. The price? under $1000.00... (more like $400) Contact: David Medin U. S. Video 62 Southfield Ave. Stamford, CT 06902 Don't have their current ph. # but, their old number, 305/875-0800 will tell you the new phone number...

Do you get NTSC video output which includes the EGA graphics in full resolution? (or as close as NTSC can get, anyhow?) Seems fairly unlikely to me, especially for only $400 - remember, EGA graphics are produced at entirely different horizontal and vertical rates than NTSC, and conversion between the two is NOT trivial. What does this card actually do? -- Michael J. Farren | "INVESTIGATE your point of view, don't just {ucbvax, uunet, hoptoad}! | dogmatize it! Reflect on it and re-evaluate unisoft!gethen!farren | it.
