HIT->TV to PC converters

[Pat Wamsley <patw1@MUSKOX.ALASKA.EDU>]

I received more requests for info than answers, but the replies that did
come in were very helpful.  As more people order and try these newer
converters, it would be great if they would post their experience, or
send to me and I will post an update.

I decided to order TelevEyes Pro, even though it is the most expensive
one, because of the following features:
1. Works with all models of Macs that have video output connectors, and
   works with PC's.
2. Allows both TV and monitor to be on at same time.
3. Antiflicker filters and overscan/underscan control
4. Composite and S-video inputs and outputs
5. Genlock/overlay feature which allows you to add titling on top of
   existing video.

Since we want to incorporate this equipment into our video production as
well as use for presentation on TV's, the genlock feature was the
determining factor.

Just this week I spoke to one ofmy sales people.  He was telling me of a
SCAN CONVERTOR which connects the computer to the TV.  It sells, here,for
$190.00. A lot less than anything else I have seen or heard of.  You can
even run a CDROM setup through it.
   Hope this helps

Pat,
We purchased the TelevEyes Pro this year to connect both Macs and
Dos machines.  We connect it to a Mac LCII.  I had hoped to connect
it to our LC 575 but to do that we would also need Presenter Plus.
TelevEyes Pro is pretty satisfactory.  There is not much in the
way of flicker.  I get a nice clear picture.  I have seen some
older similar packages which were nowhere near as nice as this.
I would recommend TelevEyes Pro.  I've used it on both platforms.
