Dirty Little Box
Turns 50hz RGB into composite
Dirty, in this case, because it's not very sophisticated. This will convert a 50Hz, interlaced RGB video signal (like the output of a Comodore / Acorn / BBC computer) to a composite video signal. It doesn't do any resolution changing or frame rate conversion, so if your input video isn't at the right rate (and most PC VGA cards won't do the right rate) then the output will go to pieces. As a result this isn't the most useful piece of kit in the station.
