A friend of mine is looking for information about video scan converters.

He needs to track down one or two external devices (no software)
that will convert SVGA and/or XGA to video.  The same device does 
not have to support SVGA and XGA, but between the two devices, 
both formats should be supported.  Resolutions up to 1024x768 
should be handled.

He has called some companies and has gotten the following prices:

Digital Vision TelevEyes Pro		     $   799
PC Video Conversion Corp. HyperConverter     $ 1,595
Chromatek 9120				     $21,000

He is concerned about the price spread here.  Is there is a large 
difference in the video quality, or is there some other difference 
that lets Chromatek charge so much?  Any information from someone 
who has actually seen one of these in action (or another product 
supporting SVGA and/or XGA) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
   - Oliver   (christ@cps.msu.edu)
