Hi,
for recording SVGA animations or VGA presentations we currently sell
the following products over here in Germany:



We currently have three solutions for you:

1. 24 bit to TV 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  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.

There is also an NTSC model of it for the same price.
It also supports 3DStudio in 24 bits output and at 800x600x65K colors.

It also worls with the Genoa Local BUS Turbobahn board and ET4000
Local-Bus card !


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 999.-DM and is called M2150 for the PAL version.


3. VGA2TV PRO 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 1599.-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  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.
