NTSC to RBG converter

(1 / 2)


Jed,

In a Motorola data book called "Linear and Interface Integrated Circuits", there
is a circuit using an NTSC to RGB converter chip on page 9-182. I'm wondering 
if you are aware of this chip, and I would like to know if you think it would be
suitable for using as you described yesterday, to drive a monitor from a VCR?

Thanks,
Glenn.

It looks like it might work. Note that it requires Vertical and Horizontal
Blanking.

Also, this uses a simple chroma filter. The best ones use a comb filter
which is more complicated.
