(reproduced without permission from page 64 of Video, September issue):

     "Toshiba has a major innovation in its CZ-2697 monitor/receiver, which
essentially uses digital "non-interlace" technology to double the number of
visible lines in the NTSC standard.  The result is not more picture
information, but more lines to convey the same picture information.
Reportedly, the picture looks better.  Availability and price were not known at
presstime. . ."

     It is not obvious from this fairly braindamaged press report whether it's
done by saving entire frames or just single scan lines.  Also, I'd guess it's
done with the ITT chip set, which contains (I think) 3 (RG&B) 6 bit flash
converters run at about 10.5 Mhz (I wonder if they can be pushed to 14.14 Mhz?).
