A couple of years ago I remember seeing a camera developed by Comtrex
that was designed to take pictures off a Mac's screen.  They also
provided a device to add video mixing with a second video source such
as a VCR (with the camera providing the genloc signal).  While I would
love to have such a setup, what I am looking for is simply someway to
directly transfer the Mac video signal to some NTSC device.  I can use
a camcorder to make pretty good copies, but there is that ever persistent
scan line to content with, as well as the difficulty of getting a 
consistently good focus.

It seems to me that such a device would be fairly simple to build, but
I don't have any idea how similar the Mac video signal is to NTSC video
signals.  If anybody has any info on such a device, please post or email
me.  Thanks.
