We are currently looking for some mechanism of displaying television pictures on a PC monitor that is also displaying output from the PC. Ideally we would like to have picture-in-picture with the TV signals being mixed with the normal PC graphics. Failing that, some switching mechanism from the PC is desired. The secondary input can be either TV (PAL A) or Video (and audio). Anyone out there know of any boards that can plug into a PC to achieve something like this? Any pointers would be appreciated. -- Nick -- [ Nick Lawes, Custom Systems | voice: +44 71 971 2513 ] [ Quotron Information Business Limited. | email: ..!ukc!slxsys!qtnet!nick ] [ 12 Norwich Street, London.

There are three boards which allow TV motion video to be displayed on a PC. M-Motion Video Adapter/A by IBM, Video Windows by New Media Graphics Corp, and DVA-4000 by VideoLogic Inc. Check out PC Magazine July 1990 issue pages 172-173 for some information on the boards. -- Loren Heisey Internet: lorenh@hpcvra.cv.hp.com UUCP : {decwrl|rutgers|ucbvax}!hplabs!hp-pcd!lorenh
