I am looking for a chip which satisfies the following:
-There are two inputs (composite video signals, actually).
-There is one output (one of the above).
-There is a TTL control line which selects one of the two inputs.
In other words it's just a multiplexer. However, I've only used a 4066, and
that thing doesn't work at high frequencies. Any suggestions?
Oh, and in case you're wondering why I need this, it's for my home computer.
I got this external graphics box for $20 that generates sharp text, but slowly,
while my regular graphics output is fast (but has lower resolution). What
I want to do is switch between the two video outputs under program control so
that I can switch between quickly-drawn menus and slow-but-clear text.
Oh, and thanks in advance to those who will post a suggestion.
