[comp.windows.x] Video Taping X

km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (12/05/89)

Is there an easy way to video tape X graphics output? It would
seem that since one has a wide range of choice of X displays,
there would be one that would be easy to video tape.

The standard display on the Amiga computer is easily video taped using
an inexpensive rgb to color/ntsc converter. The converters are normally
inexpensive since the vsync/hsync rates on the standard amiga are ntsc
compatible. More expensive converters have other features like genlocking
the X window graphics on top of live video and allowing one to retape
the result.
For more information about these capabilities please direct email to
me.

Megagraphics of Camarillo, CA, makes a board for the Macintosh which
allows you to take off an NTSC signal.
