Hi to All,
WA2ISE, you wouldn't have been working for Faroudja Labs perhaps?
They were known for extracting pretty incredible pictures from standard composite signals (PAL & NTSC) for use with TV projectors (line doublers and quadruplers).
I personally saw a demo at the IBC Broadcast show in Brighton (UK) where a 1"C VTR used a Faroudja box as an Encode/Decode processor. The color bars upon playback looked like rock-stable, gorgeous component video and yet standard NTSC was the input.
BTW, Yves Faroudja was a French engineer. When he saw no future for his ideas in France, he emigrated to America. Also made quite a bit of money in the heydays of the company (1980s).
Best Regards
