I will be working with some european video equipment soon, and will
be needing a new color camera or camcorder to use with it.  The problem
is that in europe the video signals are a different standard from here,
I believe it is PAL standard over there (more scan lines or something) and
here we use NTSC.  
  
What I want is a NTSC to PAL converter to be able to input NTSC into my
european frame grabber.   I would also like to go the other way (PAL to
NTSC) in order to record the output on an american (NTSC) vcr.

Has anyone heard of such a creature?  I would imagine going from PAL to
NTSC would be easy, but the other direction could be trickier (not enough
scan lines).  I would appreciate ANY help or references on how to make one
of these, or even tips on companies who already produce one.
									Thanks In Advance...
