- Hi,
- thanks for the question.
-
- We currently have three solutions for you:
-
- 1. PC2TV converter box which is a box connected outside of the PC to
- the SVGA card via its VGA connector. There must be a TSR program run
- in the background to change automatically the scanning frequencies of
- the ET4000 board. This works also very well with win3.1
- It supports up to 800x600 with 256 colors and 640x480 with 24 bits
- color (true color) on the Genoa 7900 ET4000 SVGA board.
- This box is 349.-DM. It has Video (FBAS) and Y/C (SVHS/HI8)
- outputs.
-
-
- 2. VGA2TV adaptor. This is an internal board which is hooked inside
- the PC to the feature connector of the VGA card. So the VGA or SVGA
- board must have a feature connector !
- The VGA2TV samples the contens of the VGA RAM into its own dual ported
- RAM and gives it out with the Video scanning frequencies to its Video
- (FBAS) or Y/C output.
- It also has a Genlock possibility. So it can be used to do titling in
- front of a holiday movie video tape running in the background of the
- computer graphics titles !
-
- Input of the external video source could also be FBAS or Y/C.
-
- This unit is 1099.-DM and is called M2150 for the PAL version.
-
-
- 3. VGA2TV with integrated Flicker fixer. This is the new release of
- the VGA2TV board. It has also a flicker filter for making the
- Interlace flicker much less visible. It also has OverScan/Underscan
- feature and the position of the screen on the TV set could be
- controlled via software.
- This board is of course more expensive than the older VGA2TV, but
- still either cards are sold.
- The new one is called M2200 and is about 1699.-DM.
-
- Both max resolutions to convert with these VGA2TV boards are
- 640x480 with 256 colors ! It has the advantage, that it does not need
- any software ! Just plug and it plays !
-

- > I would appreciate the prices and shippement info.
- >
-
- Shipment to Norway will still add some cost. I have to calculate this,
- when you really want to order a unit.
-
- Please let me know, what you need.
