[comp.graphics] Realtime RGB -> NTSC

lorensen@dwaskill.uucp (Bill Lorensen) (02/03/88)

I need to convert RGB from a high resolution (1280 x 1024, 60 hz)
frame buffer to NTSC at video rates (30 fps). I have found two
vendors:
	Vendor:
		Folsom Research
		526 East Bidwell Street
		Folsom, CA 95630
		(916) 985-2481
	Product:
		Monarch Color Graphic Converter
---------------
	Vendor:
		RGB Technology
		3684 Hastings Court
		Lafayette, CA 94549
		(415) 284-4330
	Product:
		RGB/Video Link
---------------
I'm looking for people who have had experience with either of
these (or any other similar) products.

In particular, I'd like to know:
	1) Quality of output NTSC versus input RGB
	2) Ease of switching between different frame buffers.

I'll summarize results. Thanks,
