I'm trying to find video output board, that can play
back images from computer (RAM->NTSC). Not simple scan converter,
but board that will let me generate something like
MPEG, JPEG (or whatewer) from computer generated images
and then produce fast composite (NTSC) output. Not 
necessary from disk, RAM is fine.
 I saw some posts about PC-Hurricane, but seems like
it works in different direction (NTSC -> RAM).
Thanx.

RasterOps has a compression board based on a RISC or TI chip which
will work with a variety of Multimedia boards.  Radius is also coming
out with one, I believe.  These are a tad expensive.  But if you have
gobs of memory and want to make a movie the rasterops will do it.

Release date is sometime late 92 or early 93.
