I do not know what your resources are but fyi a commercial scan converter starts at $500 and there seems to be no end to it. That is the price of a cheap computer or a moderately expensive XVGA card with extras (like a proper video output that can be fed to a video wall splitter that is much cheaper than $500 probably). hope this helps, Peter PS: Hint: usually buying parts off the shelf to build something highly optimized like $SUBJECT will end up costing much more than the finished product, even if development time is not counted in. So the short answer is probably, look into high speed FPGAs with capability to interface to SRAM or VRAM (and do not try to save too much money imho). You can probably achieve 50MHz sampling using a 100MHz clock on the FPGAs and 10ns RAM. -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
