The heart of this is a sync chip. I'm wondering if someone has any
ideas about perhaps using such to grab the video from IBM Mono, CGA, EGA
or the sun mono type video monitors to name a few.
I would love to be able to have a device which grabs these video frames,
and converts them for graphic display or capture, rather than having to
have a physical monitor around for each of these.
This is a fairly economical board, and would be easy to justify using it
with any system to convert the video, as well for a bench device.
Any suggestions for a way to convert these to VGA, or even better where
things seem to be going for DVI would be useful.
thanks

There is a company, Epiphan, that sells VGA2USB devices for just such a
thing. New, they are quite expensive, so I took a chance and purchased
a used one off ebay to see how it works. I also would like to capture
the video signal that is going to the monitor.

US $299.
An ideal device, I'd say, would capture all those antiquated video
formats, then process the data so it appears as it did on typical
glass monitors for the movie-file output.
For NTSC I always relied on the Sony DVMC-DA2 media converter.
NTSC <-> Firewire. Composite, S-video, stereo, in-out.
