I'm still a little in the dark, here. What does TARGA+ have that the videolinx doesn't? It can output images at 746 x 484 in 24 bits and I understand that the targa+ cannot do this – isn't it limited to 512 x 480 in 32 bits depth. Is it the way the image is output that affects the final image quality or is it the output resolution that has a greater effect. My plan was to output to 3/4" frame-by-frame using a software tape controller with RS422 output – so I wouldn't be directly using the ntsc/out of the videolinx. God this is complicated I wish I understood all the issues involved a little better.
