This is an external encoder that takes the video signal and converts it. May need to boot up the VRAM on the Quadra to around 1Mb. The down side of the NeoTech is that (in PAL at least) the output is only 256 colours, despite millions on board. In Australia, FIRMWARE DESIGN are the suppliers, at around $A500 - 600. There is another box out there, newly released, but I haven't tracked it down yet. We have been using the NeoTech to enable the Mac screen to be beamed out via satellite to remote areas, for computer literacy classes. Also good for video production. Not the highest quality resolution but good enough.
