Sun Microsystems recently announced a SunVideo product you should look
at.  Here is the information from the press release (April 18, 1989):

- SunVideo is a board that enables Sun workstations to display
	true-color, full motion video
- it is intended to be used with 'the dynamic output of a
	supercomputer' or a video camera or disk/tape player.
- the output is fully integrated with the Sun windowing environment
- SunVideo can be used with Sun's _deskside_ workstations (not the small
	ones like the 3/50 or 3/60).  These include members of the Sun 3 and Sun
	4 families, as well as the new SPARCstation 330 and 370 workstations.
- it will accept virtually any 525-line video signal including NTSC,
	Super VHS, RGB, & YUV.
- the (unofficial) price of the SunVideo board is $18,300CDN.
