I did go to a talk once (circa 1972) which had a demo of
DICE (Digital Image Converter Equipment).  It was full of ECL
chips and converted from PAL to NTSC (Never Twice Same Color :-) )
digitally, in real time (and back, if you wanted).  It was
built for the Olympics or something, was for professional
use by TV companies (ie megabucks).
I think it was built by GEC of Britain.
