[rec.video] Video OutPut from Computers ???

dd2u@hudson.acc.virginia.edu (drucker david) (02/09/89)

    We are very interested in any information on boards which can
provide a composite video output signal with gen lock for the
following computer systems.

    1). IBM PS/2 model 70

    2). IBM 286 clone with EGA graphics board

    3). Macintosh SE and II

    4). Apple IIE and GS

    If anyone has any knowledge or experience using these types of
boards, could you please reply via e-mail with the manufacturer, price
and your opinions on the quality of the signal.
    Thanks very much.

For the PC:

Truevision makes a thing called TARGA; it is a frame-grabber/graphics
board.  It comes in 16/24/32 bit depth, it supports genlock, it has
NTSC input and output, and additionally RGB output.  There is a C 
toolkit for it, and lots of software.

The TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter) used to
be made by AT&T; the division bought itself out and formed Truevision.
as a separate entity.
