NeoTech ship a video encoder that will convert the Mac RGB
to PAL, S-Video or NTSC. 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.

RasterOps has one for about 450-500 $US.  It will run off the Quads built in
video, though I run it off a 24xltv.

If you are going to use it for training just to show activity on the
screen I have a box that will do  this from MacWarehouse (#GRA 0351) for
$299. It does 256 colors but only outputs the top left 512 by 384 pixels
of a 13" screen. The quality isn't wonderful but it's usable, especially
if you have something that can record S-Video because it can output that
and the quality is better than NTSC. The price is certainly right.
