Just one note. I convert the RGB image (Targa file) to YUV, process chroma filtering, noise filtering, and send it down the pike. The actual "PAR" conversion is done in hardware within the PAR. In reality, my conversion process generates a lot more data than the TGA fed to me. I could hardly call that "compression" <g>. This whole process takes about 1/3 of a second. Get the image through the PC bus to the PAR takes a couple of seconds and the PAR conversion is almost instantaneous once the data is over there. The driver itself is a standard "DOS Device Driver". I opted to have it command line loadable as I hate to have to reboot my machine if I want to take things out. That way, all you have to do is to "unload" it.
