I meant that it was not cheap relative to a scan doubler. 
Yes I have heard of interleave.

I think you need fast rams. If you can do it using low bandwidth rams
( IE normal DRAMS ( not video shift register rams )), for less cost
than the neccesary number of video shift register rams, I am sure
many people here as well as all the other computer companies would be
very interested.
