The output of the Sun framestores are not compatable with the RS-170/NTSC video standard. RS-170 is the timing standard that is used by most (US) broadcast, commercial and home video. The Sun framestore output is of much higher resolution and thus higher bandwidth. I don't know if there is any hardware outthere that can down convert the Sun framestore output into a format that is compatable with RS-170. If it does exist, it would be pricey. The easiest, yet most inelegant technique would be to point a color camera at the Sun monitor..... You could also plug in an alternate vendors framestore that has RS-170 output into your sun. If there is a pixrect driver for this framestore, you can run SunView so that it will use that framestore and then run your graphic aplication on this new framestore and use its output. We have done this experimentally with one of our framestore products with great result, though we do not have a complete pixrect driver for it. Bob Berger Datacube Inc.
