PAL to NTSC conversion

[EBG]

I want to output NTSC 60hz from a PAL VCR.

There are many digital converters I could buy but....

Is there a chip solution for this? (That doesn't need software....even an
osolete older chip)........something that is plug and play.......PAL 50hz
input gives NTSC 60hz output?

Thanks.

This is a Non Trivial problem

It would be cheaper to buy a dual standard VCR

sorry

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

I have a Panasonic NV-W1(from 1992) VCR, that can convert from/into
anything. But beware these are still expensive used.Samsung makes
concurrently a model, I think. You can buy a stand alone converter for
300bucks:

There is no chip, but you can try here:

They list the NTSC version of an old product called the PC/TV by
Tecmar. I know the PAL version of this unit converts PAL video to
640x480 VGA at non-interlaced scan (~31 kHz), and the picture looks
good. The software drivers have settings that will do interlaced
output at RS-170A scan rates, but I have never seen the quality of the
picture - YMMV. Perhaps a more modern video capture device could be
modified to suit your needs.
