I checked out the link you posted; I recall seeing that some time ago when I 
was looking around at various video converters.

I wouldn't mind betting it's based on the same chip that we used. It pretty 
much is a one-chip solution for RGB/Component(/TTL) video. They'd only need 
to add some software to twiddle the registers and some logic for the OSD 
(menu). There's no frame buffer, so it won't do vertical refresh 
conversion... Everything else on the board is power, signal conditioning and 
connectors.

Looks like a _very_ good price for what it is!

I'd be very interested to see the results with the Coco!

Regards,
