I got to thinking and I maybe wrong but to resample an analog 
signal with 8 bit ADC that is generated from a 2 bit DAC maynot be 
a real good looking regenerated signal. The DACs on the GIME chip 
are at best 2 bit for Red, Green and Blue to give 6 bit total color and 
trying to redigitize that generated signal with DACs capable of 24 bit 
color may not yield what one expects. 

Besides not many new monitors, CRT  or LCD, support 15Khz sync.
