[comp.graphics] VGA/PAL/NTSC PC VIDEO BOARDS

Hi Netters,

I am looking for some info on PAL video -> VGA -> PAL video adapter
cards for a colour VGA PC AT system. I am interested in cards that can
display realtime PAL video on a VGA monitor and allow graphics to be
mixed/overlayed with the video (ie the card must have a GENLOCK 
facility to sync to external video sources), the card would also
produce a PAL video compatible output. I believe there is a card called
the "VIDEO TOASTER" (tm) which has these capabilities but produces
NTSC video. Is there a PAL video version of this card and who makes it?

I am also interested in a card to convert VGA to PAL video alone.

If there is anyone out there who owns or knows of these cards, please
could you email me or post to this group any details you might have as
to where I might get hold of one of these cards.

Thanks in anticipation

Yes, you want the TrueVision Targa board. It will handle everything you
wnat including genlocking. Can be a bit pricey, but they have actually
gotten cheaper, and they work GREAT!!
