So you didn't have a frame buffer already? I'm glad I mentioned it
then – they aren't cheap.
you are right. The DPS PAR and the TBC IV (option) take the place of
a framebuffer/vtr controller/capture board – no other hardware is
necesary (except a ntsc TV/monitor to look at the output, of course).
This combo should be able to capture from any ntsc source. Other
capture boards (video for windows types) are something else and each
one may do this a little differently. I really don't know how they
work. I suppose some need a feature connector and an svga card
equipped with one, but some have their own display built in.
