Well, I just talked to COVID, cause we output to a large screen using
their model 700.  What they told me though, might not help you.  The
scan rate of a ci (we are using the internal vidio) isn't decreased by
their device, it just gives up red/green/blue/sync or mono from the 
input right out of the card (it is pass thru so the ci's monitor still 
works).  So if you have multiscan it might help.  The list the person
at COVID (1-800-638-6104) gave me is $550 which seems high anyway.  A
local dealer quoted me:  $525. 
This is not a big savings over a card is it though?
And anyway, they said that it wouldn't work with VCRs.
