#VGA to Video
4 messages in this thread
I want to be able to use my PC to create titles, animations etc to put on to
video. I know there are some Genlock type products out there that will convert
the VGA output to drive video but I need a _cheap_ solution.
Does any one know of a cheap product or, better still a circuit or chipset that
would do the job ? ( VGA/SVGA to Composite PAL or S-VHS)

Noel,
At the lowest end, a VGA-NTSC encoder will allow you to output anything
you can put on a computer screen to video tape. One product that I am
aware of is called the Porta-Show Plus from Visionetics.

That's correct. Also, for your information, some video capture boards, like
miro DC1, also include an encoder chip inside. So that you don't need to buy
another Genlock to output video.

You will find in video that you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap
solution you will get cheap results. I reviewed a number of PC to Video
products a while back and found this to be the case.
Take a look at some of the files I have uploaded to Library 2. There are some
reviews you may find helpful.
