The IMS-B437 compact display TRAM is capable of driving a TV monitor in
interlaced mode. However, getting the video timing parameters correct, as you
have discovered, can be somewhat difficult.

If you e-mail me details of your monitor (make, model and any timing
parameters you have from its manual) I'll see if I can generate you a video
parameter block. Details of your software would be useful also, what language,
tools (IMS-F003C etc?) are you using?
