- My suggestion is if you have a genlock or if you can borrow one from
- somebody, you can genlock your animation to a projection TV and bingo you
- can have as big a screen as you'll ever need. The quality of this output is
- depending on the quality of your genlock. I use the SuperGen 2000 from
- Digital Creations and the quality is excellent.
-
- As for your other questions about quality, that will depend on the device
- you are using to convert your RGB output to CVBS. Usually the higher the
- price the better the quality (although there are some exceptions to this
- rule :)
-
- Hope this helps.
