Excuse me?  "NTSC compatible" *means* (among other things) 525 lines of
vertical resolution interlaced, or 262.5 non-interlaced.  If you just
mean "The output is decodable by an NTSC monitor, but you'll lose half
the resolution", then it's possible, but will have to wait for HDTV for
affordability.
