Thanks for the help Herb
Herb, as Tim mentioned an "encoder" at the minimum or an "overlay genlock" out to fill the bill. Many companies including a company called Viseonetics offer external encoders (SVGA-NTSC) with composite and Y/C outputs starting as low as $300 or so. Better quality encoders like the Communications Specialties, Inc. Scan…
Herb: >I'm looking for a less than $350 PC board (isa) that will allow me to place scanned color images (whether as *.gif, *.bmp or Adobe format) and Corel Draw images into my edit mixer using a Y-C (S-VHS) connector. < Sounds like what you need's a genlock (or at…
#ISA Card to NTSC
Message #3974
I'm looking for a less than $350 PC board (isa) that will allow me to place scanned color images (whether as *.gif, *.bmp or Adobe format) and Corel Draw images into my edit mixer using a Y-C (S-VHS) connector. Hopefully, with better than 256 colors and hopefully with reasonable (whatever…

VGS to NTSC help
Message #3086
Check out Videologic Mediator LC, which costs in the region of $500, is external, does both VHS, SVHS, RGB. It also has both a green and a red light on the front, which is important. You can reach Videologic via Compuserve. Scott
Also you might check into Videologic, Inc. a UK company, and enquire about Mediator and Mediator LC. The Mediator does NTSC, PAL, and SECAM, (I think) whereas the "LC" does only NTSC. I have the "LC" and am very pleased with it. It's external, hooks up via the monitor and…
Jeff, hi. I send video e-mail and messages all the time. Albeit my video files are Quicktime. TV takes a lot more doing and it would be more universal to mail VHS tape to Mr. & Mrs. Mortal America. I send 320X240, 8fps, 8bit 5khz mono audio, compressed with Cinepak…

The DPS PAR is excellent according to everything that I know. The VVGA that I mentioned is a solution to record what you would have playing on the VGA screen. It does not offer any capture capabilities. it does provide for overlay, keying, etc. Again, there are many solutions here.…
Hey Frans, Here is the european fax number to DPS (according to my records) (0252) 718400 Hope this helps! Dean Oliver Virtually Real
Dean, Do you have the fax number to DPS (UK)? Frans
Hello Jeff, yes it is possible to digitize Video, compress it and send it via e-mail. In "near broadcast quality" you'd get about 200 MB per minute. Using a 14400 Baud Modem one minute will take about 30 hours to send… greetings from germany, Robert
Thank you, James Herb
Bob- Thanks for the info- I shall contact Vine Micros- I will also mention "Jason"-(Bob?) Best regards.
The VGA Producer Pro will perform the operation you are looking for It provides an RS-170A (SMPTE 170M) signal which can feed any mixer/switcher. It does work in only 256 colors which is a disadvantage. I am looking at other products now, but I have not yet seen anything which…

#Digital E-mail to TV
Message #2260
I am a novice, and I am not sure that my question belongs here, but we'll see. Can I take a video, put it in some digital format(Maybe like LaserDiscs) that it could be transferred through e-mail, then when I receive the email, send it to a television. I would…
Thank you. M.
Pete, There are a number of cards on the market to perform this function. Some of them have built-in tuners (you just plug them into the cable or antenna) while others have composite or S-Video inputs (you hook them up to a VCR which acts as a tuner). The first…
#TV Board!
Message #2221
Hi, I'm looking for an addon board to watch TV on a Window or full screen, so far the only one I've seen so far is the PBTV3 from Packard Bell. Is that a good card to get or are there better ones out there! Please leave me detail messages…

Dean, Forgive my ignorance- who makes PAR? Do you possibly have a European address for the source? M.
Stephen, I highly recommend the Personal Animation Recorder. This is the product of choice for true professional results here at Virtually Real. It is available in both PAL and NTSC versions. Since the PAR uses it's own processor, you needn't worry about the amount of video being directed to tape.…

I'm using a 486DX66 with standard ISA Bus. I'm thinking about upgrading to a Pentium 90 with PCI Bus. For the German PAL-TV standard I need to bring 25 frames/sec sized 704*576 pixles @ 24Bit to my vcr. Because of the enormous amount of data I'm sure that I need…
