My requirement is much less demanding.
I only need to show test cards,static pictures and the like.
Whats most important is that the output is as close to the full PAL
standard as possible.
So to widen the scope the question becomes:
'Where can I get an old system that will do broadcast standard PAL TV
out.'
I'm not sure that question can be answered, since I have never ever seen
a system that does "broadcast" PAL output. You have to define what you
mean by "broadcast":
- If you mean "broadcast as circa 1990 and before", then composite video
qualifies, but I have never seen a system with a composite output
without an unacceptable level of noise.
- If you mean "broadcast as circa 1991 and later", you'd need a system
with a bare minimum of Y/C ("s-video") output and I don't know of any,
unless you stick a later-model genlock onto an Amiga.
