Ok, ok, my mailbox is full, gimmee a break, here it is:

RGB (1280x1024) to NTSC converter seen at SIGGRAPH:

   Photron Limited
   Jingumae 6-12-15,
   Shibuya-Ku,
   Tokyo 150
   Japan

Price quoted was about $20K.

Phone: Tokyo (03)486-3471
Fax:         (03)486-8760 (GIII)

The question came form the Apollo group, but I've seen similar requests
from .graphics, hence the X-posting.

Disclaimer: Yeah, like I own stock in Photron. Rilly.

Readers of the net often seek advice concerning ways to get NTSC (TV)
output from their computers.  Though there are ways to accomplish this,
some of them are a bit expensive. 

The December 1989 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine includes an
article describing how to build an RGB to NTSC convertor.  It gives a
source for a kit, which includes all necessary parts, for $29.95.

The article includes diagrams for hooking the convertor up to an IBM
CGA display setup, or an Atari ST.  Also, the NTSC display is
color--some net readers have pointed out that some CGA boards output
only black and white images on their RCA jacks.
