[sci.electronics] NTSC to RGB converter

toddpw@tybalt.caltech.edu (Todd P. Whitesel) (03/09/90)

I'm looking for a circuit or product that can take NTSC composite video
in (from the VCR, say) and outputs RGB with sync. I can accommodate lots
of sync styles but I've got to have RGB because I want this to be a no
problems circuit to help me do the following:

	watch TV on the RGB monitor
	digitize pictures with my CS project (requires RGB in)


Any help, pointers, circuits, companies, etc. would be appreciated.

Three people responded right away (Thanks!) but all mentioned expansion
boards for PCs or Macs...

I need either a circuit (chip set would be nice, I have found what look
like most of the pieces but there are still some missing) or a standalone
box that gives me analog RGB out because I do not plan to use this thing with
my computer, just with the monitor for TV viewing AND with a CS project that
has to operate on its own.

A couple of months ago in one of the popular electronics magazines (Popular
Electronics, I think but am not sure) there was an article on an
NTSC to RGB converter kit designed to allow one to drive a high res
RGB monitor from an NTSC source.  I inadvertently threw that issue away
before I ordered the kit.  Could some kind soul please give me
the name and address and phone number of the kit vendor?

Thanks in advance.
