This one?

RGB to TV convertor - RGB to NTSC & PAL video encoder

very interesting.. question what is the resolution of the board monitor because = the 3.1 This board ONLY works with standard resolution arcade boardsets ( 15kHz horizontal line frequency ) but good find though very intrigued by this project. I just came from a carpc.. so i understand what the other poster was talking about.. You have a great idea.. if it works.

I suppose you could buy and try - as the UK Distance Selling Regs should apply. You will need a good 12v to 5v converter as from their text it appears to be very supply critical. You could probably use a 5.1v Zenner diode to drop the voltage...

Edit: Just noted that it ONLY accepts a 15kHz Sync which will probably be an issue. I have no idea what the Sync off the Mk4 is
