I am interested in purchasing a video capture board that has
the following attributes:

1. 512x512 (or 640x480) resolution
2. at least 24 bits per pixel (true color)
3. IBM PC/AT compatible
4. NTSC video in
5. NTSC/RGB out

Alpha channel is nice, but not necessary.
Fancy hardware pixel processing not needed either.

So far, I have looked at the Matrox MVP-AT, the ATVista 1M, and the
Data Translation DT-2871. In Canada, at least, the ATVista comes out
at the best price.

If anyone has a suggestion for another contender I should examine,
or comments about the above, please e-mail & I will summarize
at a later date.
