My earlier comment about video running in windows brought up questions about
other PC hardware.  Currently, we are experimenting with a new product from
New Media Graphics that adds NTSC/PAL video real-time digitizing and overlay
with a standard VGA system.  THe Digitized video can be "manipulated" in
size and display quadrant, along with some other special effects.  This seems
to be the most "advanced" product of it's type.  The card has an on-board
80186 processor along with a megapixel of video capture memory.  (Thats
from memory, and not exact, but you get the picture).

The prices seem reasonable, and are in the same range as EGA/CGA overlay
systems.  I would expect new software that adds windowing functions to be
available in the future.  The on-board processor should help support
repainting and resizing windows.  

There is not a PS/2 Microchannel version that I know of, but maybe soon.

The company is at:
   780 Boston Road
   Bilerica, MA 01821-5925
   (617 663-0666

As usual, the std disclaimer.  I don't have any affiliation with NMG except
as a customer using their products.
