[comp.multimedia] Scan-Converters and Computer to VCR

leo@zelator.uucp (Stefan Hartmann) (06/02/91)

Hi,

we have seen the recent discussion about the problem to get computer graphics
recorded to a VCR.
We have the right equipment to do this !

All You need is our SCAN-CONVERTER card for the PC, that plugs into the Mother-
board on a free PC-connector port.
It converts VGA 640x400 and 640X480 256 color graphics to PAL or NTSC standard
interlace output (CCIR-broadcast-quality).
It zooms the picture, so You have an OverScaned screen with no more visible
borders !
It is also a GENLOCK function implemented, so You can underlay Your other VCR orcamera input as a background display.

The card is called OverScan-ScanCon I and is available from end of JULY 1991
from :

       OverScan GbR
       Saentisstr. 166
       1000 Berlin 48
       Germany
       Tel.: ++49 30 721 94 66
       FAX.: ++49 30 721 56 92

Call us. We will make You a good price.

Also there is another Scanconverter in development, which converts the High-End
Computer Graphics screens, like CAD/CAM 1280 x 1024 true color down to European
PAL CCIR standard (Interlace) with anti-flicker intertpolation filter etc.
This ScanConverter will be available at a breakthrough price at the end of 1991.If You have any question about recording computer graphics to VCR please feel
free to contact Mr. Hartmann at the OverScan office every day from Monday to
Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm European standard time.

P.S.: You can't record a VGA-board-output directly to a VCR, because the
scan-frequencies of a VGA-Board are totally different to the scan-frequencies
used in the NTSC and PAL Television systems. So it is necessary to convert
the frequencies and the pictures with a ScanConverter board !
