#Computer to Video
8 messages in this thread
Could someone suggest a product to get my windows based computer signal out to
video (composite or S-VHS). My budget is in the $700-$1,000 range. The one
product I have been offered is made by Digital Creations, any comments on this?

You might want to take a look at RocGen VGA Production Card.
JDR sells 'em @ 1-800-538-5000 ($~350).
Thanks. I'll call them.

The best is a card made my Magni. The best for the money seems to be the
AverKey 3.
Harry,
Would you happen to have the phone # for Magni, or a dealer?

The phone # listed for Magni in March Videomaker is 800-624-6465.
You can reach them at (503) 626-8400. They offer three products currently for
PC to video conversion…
The MagniCoder: An external box for working with laptop or desktop computer
systems. It will convert up to 16.7 million colors.
The Desktop CG: An internal ISA card which will convert up to 32000 colors. It
is software controlled.
The VGA Producer Pro: In Internal ISA card which will convert up to 256 colors.
It is fully RS-170A/SMPTE 170M compliant. It uses a hardware box to control
the unit, no TSR programs are necessary. It also has adjustable timing.
Prices for these products range from $600 to about $2000. Take a look at
VGAPRO.TXT in Library 2 of this forum. It was the best I found when I was
looking at this type of hardware.
